Never thought you would see what ? The day a Harley lawn tractor that will get out of its own way, or an 11 second Gold Wing that still beats the he!! out of a Harley ? Dont get me wrong I think a Harley is alright but they are what they are. It is amazing what NHRA had to do for Harley Davidson to make them competitive in pro stock. :roll:

( or matching top end ? )

When I read that, I realized that about 95% of guys with stock H2s would lose to a 12.49 second Harley.

They might lose but I'm sure they'd get a run for their money. ;)

A Harley out weighs a GW !!!!
And look at the price differential !! The HD is 13,000 more than the GW !!!! Unbelievable !!!

I'm not surprised by the 0-60 or qtr miles times....but I am impressed by them accomplishing those times with that amount of weight.

I'm also astounded by the load capacity difference....how do they come up with that number ? And it would seem to me that I see those load capacities exceeded every time I see a couple on either one of these two monstrosities.

Oh and...yes.....this is a motorcycle......somebody just shoot me !!!!
