I saw the S&S patch on Hildos jacket and knew who would win. S&S makes cam shafts that drastically increase the torque of a Harley and that is what gets a bike off the line. I didn't get a good look but I think it also had an S&S carburetor. Hildo might have been saying 70 HP based on factory figures but I bet that engine was a torque monster. In the first race, I heard tires squealing. If the Honda had done that It probably would have done a wheelie as soon as the tire caught so we can be pretty sure it was Hildo ripping off some rubber with all that torque I mentioned. I thought sure we would see at least some front tire hopping from the Honda but no, so maybe Riki is not comfortable with that. Still, Hildo shot away really fast so I don't think a more experienced rider could have beat Hildo in that short distance. On an open road that Honda would have rocketed up the highway, but Hildo knows his limits and at least for this race, He owned it.
That "harley" is a rat bike that was built to go stop light to stop light racing. Alllll about the low end. That crotchrocket didn't have a chance at that distance.
This is a lot of fun watching this. Great video. Yes, we all know what would happen in a longer race or if there was turn, calm down sportbike guys haha. It's all good, all bikes are cool.
varming the tyre well is essential ;-) The rest is done by torque, grip, low center of gravity, long wheelbase and drivers skills. Did I miss something?
The low down torque of the HD makes it easier to launch, problem with the super bike is it needs a skilled rider to launch it. Obviously this guy didn't know what he was doing.
LOL, you're really going to just outright blame the kid? I'd venture to say that nobody was going to beat that rat bike on the rice bike in that short of a run. So while you say "fuck a Harley", that Harley spanked ass and there's no denying that.
I love these Harley vids where we get to read wannabes making a myriad of excuses... don't cry it's just a race even though the Harley missed a gear and still won
Anyone know Hildo's Harleys displacement, what cam grind he's running, and if he ever dynoed it? Mine makes 113hp/109 torque. Andrews TW55s, 96ci bored to 103ci @ 10.25 to 1, ported heads, lockout clutch, 2 into 1 B&B, and programmable ignition. It was built in 2007. My last Honda, an '83 1100F, made 108 Hp.... But that was long ago.
uh, race longer, uh corners, uh wind from the east, uh close one eye, uhhhh lol For all the haters, the race is what it was and the old dude, on the uh 70hp(lol right) Harley not only won, he killed him. I have a 1000RR and wouldn't want to race against that bike, in that race. cudos to HD in this one.
All the thumbs down 👎 from sports bike riders with buyers remorse. Sure you can go over 150mph... on a track... but a bike geared to top out at 70 will walk most things on the road.
I’m in Texas & was raised on tha only motorcycle in tha world yup you guessed it a Harley. Nothin compares to it. You’ll never see a Harley broke down on tha side of tha road & if by chance you do you’ll see tha dude pushing it coz they don’t leave their Harley’s on side of road like crotch rocket owners do. I’m an ol hippie chick that loves to ride & im known to Suppirt my Local Bandido”s . Peace to Holland from Texas .
I'm wondering why the sport bike wasn't pulling the front tire. It could be Ricky was not comfortable giving too much throttle at the start. To get a good launch he should have had the front tire at least a few inches off the ground. Still, it is hard to overcome the monster torque of a long stroke V-twin. Plus I saw the S&S patch on his jacket. It is highly likely the engine has S&S cam and carburetor.
The twin makes most power and torque a low range rpm. The sport bikes make most torque around 5000-7000. The other rider had no idea on how to take off properly. It's a little more tricky on the sport bike because of the center of mass is forward, unlike the Chopper. Tat means less wheel spin, more grip on the low end rpm launch for the twin. However, a skilled rider would know the power ranges of his/her bike. There is no way that twin is faster. It's the rider!
Harley is always going to off the line, but that's it. Sportbike will catch it and stay ahead. Not to mention if they take any corners that stretched rake and ape hangers will surely help the harley's cause...
Not taking sides but... stop light to stop light a v-twin will smoke the sport bike, but let the sport bike get up in it's RPM range and it will leave the v-twin for dead! It's all about torque vs RPM.
Hildo has his personal website in Dutch. You can find the specs of this bike, its a 96 cid stroker Evo. www.twolefthands.nl/motor/de%20Harley/page1%20de%20Harley/de_harley.htm
That's interesting considering I used to blow off any Harley I cared to go up against with my lightly modified 1972 model Yamaha RD350 two stroke café racer. Hell I even blew the side covers off one of those POS 6-cylinder Honda abortions. Boy, I sure miss that little lightship.
You want a Harley that goes fast build up an 80" Evolution motor(what Hildo has in his hardtail). A simple cam, high compression piston upgrade and head work and that motor will own 750 sport bikes all day long.
DeanKitt 80" and I build them are good at 90hp max without getting into the bottom end deep. That Shovel Head is really at 70hp Hildo's not over stating.
well atleast you had your fun haha im saving up myself but i guess they dont know. you know much better than me about how everything sucks nowdays :( 90s fireblade right??
Power is nothing if you can't put it down..That rat is long! He can dump into her way faster and hold it out.The blade would loop if he romped on it like that.
BlackCat 56 lol pikes peak Harley-Davidson had a bike wash one summer with a bunch of bimbos washing bikes. I ended up with a laugh and my buddy ended up with a swirled, scratched and barely washed bike.
sadly, all the raods are restricted to 50 mph now - in teh old days it was mad!!! great fun...what is odd is that I've noticed very few young people seem to ride.... I'm 49 and I'd guess 50/60% of the peopl ethere are older than me
"No brakes on the front, but must wear my helmet, safety first!"
lol
that was a lesson on gear ratios and torque
Harley peak torque probably under 2500 RPM, the cbr probably 8000.. Easy.
Nah new twin cams rap out peak torque higher than that.
@@Rhysmoreton but i think that harley has litle more power than 70 hp :)
@@mopar21 That's not a twin cam. It's an Evo.
Plain and simple ... Hildo can ride and Ricky can't. I bet if they traded bikes and went again Hildo would still beat him.
I saw the S&S patch on Hildos jacket and knew who would win.
S&S makes cam shafts that drastically increase the torque of a Harley and that is what gets a bike off the line. I didn't get a good look but I think it also had an S&S carburetor.

On an open road that Honda would have rocketed up the highway, but Hildo knows his limits and at least for this race, He owned it.
Damn didn't see the patch, but when i heard the tires sound like that I just thought to myself 'chopper wins that'
Yup, I have a 100inch S&S full build in my bike. Alot of people out there getting schooled.
He's ZZ Top's grandad.
I love all the mad sportsbike riders in these comments
Gotta love old school man
It's the beard.
The hairy nostrils may also add to the aerodynamic effect
Guess ya can't beat a sharp dressed man. ZZ top reference
Nice beardwork and good job varming the tyre. :D
That "harley" is a rat bike that was built to go stop light to stop light racing. Alllll about the low end. That crotchrocket didn't have a chance at that distance.
Crotchrocket that's a good one
This is a lot of fun watching this. Great video. Yes, we all know what would happen in a longer race or if there was turn, calm down sportbike guys haha. It's all good, all bikes are cool.
Riding the chopper wearing choppers! I love this
go hildo ! . COOL BIKE MAN . top beard too
Yess. That is it
TheMadnes43 cool bike . . . top m an
TheMadnes43 A cool bike man
varming the tyre well is essential ;-)
The rest is done by torque, grip, low center of gravity, long wheelbase and drivers skills. Did I miss something?
and when the flag drops the bullshit stops
Thanks for sharing I got a chuckle out of this. Hildo's Rat bike is victorious!
The low down torque of the HD makes it easier to launch, problem with the super bike is it needs a skilled rider to launch it. Obviously this guy didn't know what he was doing.
More fuckin excuses
fuck sportsbike
Lol 4 bangers putting out 70lbs of torque when a new low rider s is cranking 116 on the showroom floor.
how is one bike harder to ride then another i tell u man its the beard it gives better airflow
COPE
home made Harley!😉 bloody great race. Yamazuky 😂
I gotta laugh...Hildo's Rat Bike is badass!!!!
This is why I made my KZ 750 int I rigid bobber. Can't beat the look of a old school home built bike.
LOL, you're really going to just outright blame the kid? I'd venture to say that nobody was going to beat that rat bike on the rice bike in that short of a run. So while you say "fuck a Harley", that Harley spanked ass and there's no denying that.
Hildo,you're my hero!
Ok the Harley wins 0-25mph. Good show.
I love these Harley vids where we get to read wannabes making a myriad of excuses... don't cry it's just a race even though the Harley missed a gear and still won
ive watched this video alot never gets old lll
No breaks on the frontside but strapon the helmet, safety frirst!
Oh god, I lost it at the no front brakes lol.
Ho got front brake
I believe half that smoke came out the exhaust!
Anyone know Hildo's Harleys displacement, what cam grind he's running, and if he ever dynoed it?
Mine makes 113hp/109 torque.

it's all fun and games ;) those twins have a lot of torque, it would be nice if they could do a quarter mile race!
How could Ricky be that bad? He got smoked 3 times?? This is unbelievable.
Now take a turn, Hildo........was a cool scene to watch.
"yamasuki" lol
and it's a honda...
Very nice Harley Rat... Greetings from RATAS, ratbikers from Venezuela
So badass, make me wanna switch bike lol
All the thumbs down 👎 from sports bike riders with buyers remorse. Sure you can go over 150mph... on a track... but a bike geared to top out at 70 will walk most things on the road.
i heard crazy stories about boxhill do people still race there??
Good translation, Well done

"I have no brakes on the front side, but.. I have my beard!"
experience is king, the old guy knows how to get the power down properly, if the other guy had more experience it might be a different outcome

well most are for cruising, but they do have sporty models besides sportster they even have harley models equivalent to crotch rockets
kid had no idea how to ride the sportbike
That is one well built harley!, cant see what motor?im hoping its a shovel, but maybe an evo?, you can tell that guy has a
Ifetime of experience!!
awww man! donchoo just love the cloggies! :-D
Harley's sure are fun.
i love this cat
Is varming tyre the same as warming tyre ???

Hell yeah smoked that rocket.
Lesson of the day: Torque wins the day in short races.
Nothing else needs to be said.
it is not the bike its the fking Driver! hes AwEsome!
Do you wear any leather chaps or Levi's jeans?
holy shit! look at that Harley go! Choppers > Sport Bikes (y)
Didn't know that, I have the forth gear worn out on my fireblade :D But thanks for the reply
do he needed to start on he second gear??
That thing pulls harder than a 15 year old boy.
Not taking sides but... stop light to stop light a v-twin will smoke the sport bike, but let the sport bike get up in it's RPM range and it will leave the v-twin for dead! It's all about torque vs RPM.

Power to weight ratios win out every time.
gearing for short distances is all it takes
Respekt to Hildo.I Love it!!
That's interesting considering I used to blow off any Harley I cared to go up against with my lightly modified 1972 model Yamaha RD350 two stroke café racer. Hell I even blew the side covers off one of those POS 6-cylinder Honda abortions. Boy, I sure miss that little lightship.
i miss the time i was a time traveling secret agent.but we all have to wake up from our dreams sometime.
those RD's were "giant killers" in the 70's
I'd give you my house if you'd even dreamt of being faster than my Valkyrie. Laugh my arse off at you.
ron laisle I had one back in 86, a ypvs, those little bikes were incredible, I shredded chains and sprockets quite a few times, very racy motors.
ron laisle wow. years back, i did exact same thing to said bikes with my 350 rd.
yeeah ... 480p - the new 4k ...
Todd Pierson .. well said brother well said
110 years of success. They usually out last their owners. What's your preference sir?
If Made in the usa back in the day its badass
kick start now thats a real bike
Jump kick start ha ha
Hey Ricky where you going? Come back..
what VARMING TYRE means?
nicht verwunderlich, das Drehmoment der Harley ist schon bei niedrigen Drehzahlen viel höher!, Trotzdem klasse, da denk ich doch gleich an WERNER
Hildos still life? Damone knows what hapend him now?
Hildo is rat Champion 🤘🤪🐁😎
On the street ,Torque is King.
C'mon man give ricky another chance..
You want a Harley that goes fast build up an 80" Evolution motor(what Hildo has in his hardtail). A simple cam, high compression piston upgrade and head work and that motor will own 750 sport bikes all day long.
Not a hard tail. It has shocks. Might be an FXR frame and Shovel Motor.
DeanKitt 80" and I build them are good at 90hp max without getting into the bottom end deep. That Shovel Head is really at 70hp Hildo's not over stating.
DeanKitt yeah, I didn't notice the shocks. Probably half asleep when I watched the video last.
Already Filming ? o_0
well atleast you had your fun haha im saving up myself but i guess they dont know. you know much better than me about how everything sucks nowdays :( 90s fireblade right??
i love that rat bike
Power is nothing if you can't put it down..That rat is long! He can dump into her way faster and hold it out.The blade would loop if he romped on it like that.
hildo, that was almost as sweet as 10 girls in bikinis washing my bike.
BlackCat 56 lol pikes peak Harley-Davidson had a bike wash one summer with a bunch of bimbos washing bikes. I ended up with a laugh and my buddy ended up with a swirled, scratched and barely washed bike.
LOL.
Hildo claims 70 HP.
That was the factory HP many years ago.
It moves like it has about 200b lbs of torque.
now try that in a 1km race XD the harley probably does 160kmh as max speed XD
I don't know about him, but my preference is agility and efficiency. Harleys do not have success at that.
Fireblade wasnt all out. Needs a New rider lets see that
The harley got a bigger engine with more torque so its normal it will take off faster.
sadly, all the raods are restricted to 50 mph now - in teh old days it was mad!!! great fun...what is odd is that I've noticed very few young people seem to ride.... I'm 49 and I'd guess 50/60% of the peopl ethere are older than me
hugobear1 im almost half of you young people riding too they just don't have money and space
it's a money thing yea. only thing stopping me from riding is having a bike. I do ride my moms low rider sometimes.
That was awesome
It's not a Harley, it's a Hildo. But anyway, congrats. Good job. Impressive. I'll still keep Kawi with ABS on both wheels.
proves it is not hp that counts but Torque!
I'm pretty sure that harley had much more than 70hp, second the strip was not more than 100meters.
Embarrassing.
If the chopper bike beat sports it is that in every race starts first . -_-
I'm down at Boxhill most sundays on my 'Blade - I'd give any Harley rider £200 to outrun me.
I wouldn't call that a Harley, I'd call that whatever hildo calls it because he built it
thats was not 70hp more like 140hp i could see what was hanging in that thing
Frank M and what was hanging
Hildos nuts , dragging along the street,intimidating ricky.
2:29 Hildo win, best of show....
he's probably a little of on the only 70 part.
Ha ! Top man Hildo !!
