Best performance mod for my Rocket would be for me to lose 40 pounds!

I started on that mod 2 months ago.
I only have 50 pounds left to go

I was out riding today with a group that included a woman riding a Victory cruiser. Her bike was stock except for aftermarket exhaust and a reprogrammed map. The woman was at least 100 pounds lighter than me. We had around 6-7 times where we were making a 90 degree turn from a stop sign on country two lane highways. The basic thing was start in first and make the turn, get straight and hammer on it and run it up through the gears. Her Victory and my Rocket were almost even....kind of surprised me. I think I need to go on a diet!

You should have easily walked away from her even if you were towing a trailer...my M109R would walk away from Vics pretty rapidly, and I know my R3R is quicker than my 9 was...there may be something wrong with yours...

My bike is running strong. The Victory was a 106 V Twin...say 150 pounds lighter than my bike plus 100 of rider. The 250 pound weight difference is a lot of the Rocket engine to make up for. Kind of like my Rocket had the equivalent weight of a large passenger and full bags.

With the amount of food you consumed this last weekend you might have a wee bit more than 50 to lose now, boy can Steel eat it is a wonder he has any fingers left.

Zx1400 is a beast and will eat just about anything on da road . Have ridden most things but nothing quite like the presence of the r111 ! If ya wanna get there fast , buy a zx but if ya wanna get there in style without having to unlock your hips and shake the tingles from ya fingers and click yer neck back in place then it's the R111 all the way ! Guess I must be at that age where I would rather do 90mph on me rocket than 180 mph on me busa ! TREATS .

Do NOT feel like the Lone Ranger!
Bug Mouth (@skydog1000) needs to drop a few as well!!!!

I'm sure if he flossed he'd probably drop 40 pounds worth of bugs.

YES the ZX14 is the bike I would pick out of the sportbikes for a second bike BUT my modded ROCKET is the best all round rider and its faster than the ZX14 so I enjoy ridind it more than anything else and I can smoke those sportbikes

I am not too sure that has helped. I am down 45 pounds since Jan with another 30 or so to go. I imagine it doesn't hurt performance for sure. I have heard somewhere losing 10 pounds is like picking up 1 HP. I plan on picking up 8 HP before I am done.

It gets pretty spendy replacing clothes though, thank god for thrift stores.
