in addition to the cool things that buell is doing the mother ship is doing some pretty cool stuff also; http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/Racing/vrxse_destroyer.jsp?bmLo cale=en_US I'm kind of liking the FXDBI street bob also; http://a1264.g.akamai.net/7/1264/734/921275f0169704/resource.harley-davidson.com /PR/MOT/2006/images/gallery/g_dyFXDB_e_dom_c08_s01.jpg |

Engine Revolution®, 60° V-Twin Displacement 79.0 in.³ Engine Torque 97.0 ft. lbs. @ 7600 rpm Fuel System Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) Miles per Gallon Wonder what the HP is. Well, 97 ft/lbs of torque has got to be fun. I bet there's a reason why they don't list the MPG though. lol. |

Is that VRXSE street legal with the wheelie bar removed? Looks like it has a headlight and taillight on it. Wonder if any dealerships will get one for display points. When a bike is made for 1/4 miles runs the fuel capacity is more about ballast than distance. |

To calculate motor full-load torque, apply this formula: HP = T x RPM / 5252 T = torque (LB-FT) HP = horsepower 5252 = constant rpm = Engine speed in revolutions per minute ******** 97.0 LB*FT x 7600rpm / 5252 = 140 HP (Message edited by blake on July 26, 2005) |

Thanks Dsergison. Just a little editing to clean up the formatting. |

Peak HP is likely up a lot further in the rev range though at a slightly reduced torque. I believe the 170 HP number. |

It all depends on if they are using 1/4 mile quarter horses, or Milwaukee Clydesdales.

I'd say the Clydesdales have a lot more TORQUE??? Can any Sport Horse riders comment !!!!!! |

The race version could well go to 10K or more. |

Yes, you can buy a drag version V-Rod for $30,000 that's almost as fast as a stock Hayabusa in the 1/4 mile. Good enough for cruiser guys, not good for sport guys. The above was posted by "Anonymous" in another thread. I'm also willing to bet the MSO (factory title) is branded with "Race use Only, Not legal for street use". Of course some of us have friends or know stupid people that work for DMV.
