Harley sounds like it has cam, exhaust, intake, and ignition upgrades. All of which can be attained rather easily. That paint job cost him way more than said possible upgrades. His skill plays a major part though. All the sexy HP and torque numbers on any bike mean little if the rider doesn't have the skill to exploit it. Good video.
you make an excellent point. It really is all about the skill of the rider. a 600 gxr can beat a busa all day long at the drag strip if the rider is skilled on one and new on the other. I learned early on how really hard it is and how much work it is to get it right.
That Harley has Way more than that done. Wouldn't be surprised if some type of forced induction. Harley's are dirt slow and you can't fix that with simple cams and bolt ons.
First time they zoomed in I saw the snap back on the passenger seat and then he almost dropped it. Knew then. Not trying to knock the guy, but he's on an R1 and clearly a far below average rider. Only reason I bring that up, is because he still beat the fuckin built Harley on the last run hahahaha
@@kingwarrior5028 You mean the "visor"? Well, it may not be that much, but all factors come into play here since they are, after all, drag racing. And, all that wind blowing onto his face on his first run may have impaired his vision for a short while which therefore affected his performance. I'm pretty sure that it did have an effect on him because why else did he decide to close his visor on his 2nd run? He won on his 2nd try btw. Not saying that it had the biggest effect on his performance because, like I said, it's a combination of factors.

@@Vicente666Fernandez I know how drag racing works. My point was that it's not hard with traction, and the reason you don't see Harleys do it more often is because most of them will spin before they lift because the owners don't set them up for drag racing. Obviously being on a good surface with warm tires helps, too.

The amount of money that had to be spent on that Harley to get as fast as the average sport bike with an average rider is ridiculous. Waste of money IMO.
Extended rear swings for the sport bikes and the take offing is much easier. Harley have longer wheel base and more mass, what is easier to handle rough acceleration.

They're not really FIAT fairings, they're Yamaha Factory Racing graphics. FIAT teamed up with Yamaha's MotoGP team from 2007 to 2010. It was really refreshing because up to that point, only tobacco companies had sponsored the teams so everything was plastered with annoying cancer stick logos. It just so happens that 2007 to 2010 was the best part of Rossi's career and practically the height of MotoGP, so that's why there's Yamahas still running around with fairings that say FIAT on them.
@@893R6-w8t Nice to see a knowledgeable poster on here. I am the proud owner of a 2008 FIAT themed R1 and it just looks amazing. My favourite year by far ( Incls `07 model ), and would never sell it.

I have a s1krr. And I've ran some fast af baggers. Today it's bout power to weight and a good rider. Those heavy bikes build ton torque and are hard to run down.
I agree and I disagree. Baggers also carry a heavy frame and more weight all around. I have a sportster with a 1275 hammer and it is still torque because of the money I got into the engine and most importantly, my transmission allows me to have that torque because I have a five-speed and I have that lighter weight.. I don't know. I just find a built 1200 XLC makes a great dragster..Especially staged and raged.intake and coming out. Put a larger rear end kit on it and did some modifications to my 2009 1200 XL now it will literally shit flame when it builds up and releases combustion
Le test est cool mais au final 95% des Harley sert à faire de la route pas des runs donc même si elle se ferait clouer il n'y a aucune gloire pour une sportive. Alors la humiliation suprême et gloire à la grosse maman HARLEY. LOVE HARLEY , SUPRÊME BIKE. -Pour ça les américains vous avez le caviar des routières.
Harleys best run was a 11.1 the Gsxr 1000 ran a 10.90. With a cbr600RR you can run an 11.1 that 1000 could do better, it’s also a stock sport bike that’s meant for a track not straight lines vs a highly! Modified Harley that can only go straight.
A stock big bang R1 as seen here, bone stock unlike this bike, can easily run sub 10.20 in the quarter. The big bang came out in 2009 and is a bit heavy. The previous model, the RC8 ( 07-08), ran run a 9.80-9.90 quarter mile at 145+ all day long in expert hands at the drags. Bone stock.

I’ve never seen wheeling the front tire on Harley😮
Harleys are faster off the line. Torque matters. But they just don't have the top end that sport bikes do. They just aren't made for it.
Mit ner Harley fährt man immer hinterher, ist eben nur ein "Wandelnder Eisenhaufen"
Impressive Harley!
What happens in a track?
joseba jon uskola saenz de oger Harley goes straight
Brando Loudly straight off the track into a barrier
Damnit Man, Us Harley guys are just supposed to look good lol!
The Harley must have been modded, right?
I have a s1krr. And I've ran some fast af baggers. Today it's bout power to weight and a good rider. Those heavy bikes build ton torque and are hard to run down.
I agree and I disagree. Baggers also carry a heavy frame and more weight all around. I have a sportster with a 1275 hammer and it is still torque because of the money I got into the engine and most importantly, my transmission allows me to have that torque because I have a five-speed and I have that lighter weight.. I don't know. I just find a built 1200 XLC makes a great dragster..Especially staged and raged.intake and coming out. Put a larger rear end kit on it and did some modifications to my 2009 1200 XL now it will literally shit flame when it builds up and releases combustion
Realized when he got home, the bags had 40 pounds of gear in them……..
Le test est cool mais au final 95% des Harley sert à faire de la route pas des runs donc même si elle se ferait clouer il n'y a aucune gloire pour une sportive.
Alors la humiliation suprême et gloire à la grosse maman HARLEY.
LOVE HARLEY , SUPRÊME BIKE.

What ungodly mods are on that Harley ?!?
All S&S and if you remove all the original Japanese parts it's not going anywhere.
Harleys best run was a 11.1 the Gsxr 1000 ran a 10.90. With a cbr600RR you can run an 11.1 that 1000 could do better, it’s also a stock sport bike that’s meant for a track not straight lines vs a highly! Modified Harley that can only go straight.
A stock big bang R1 as seen here, bone stock unlike this bike, can easily run sub 10.20 in the quarter. The big bang came out in 2009 and is a bit heavy. The previous model, the RC8 ( 07-08), ran run a 9.80-9.90 quarter mile at 145+ all day long in expert hands at the drags. Bone stock.
Guy on the R1 cant ride or launch but still i bet they had fun.
Awesome for a big heavy bagger!
Man that qorche rocket got smoked by that harley like damn
No he didn't lol
Quick Harley but also goes to show how much topend speed a sport bike has
