The meanstreak will complety anihilate a 1450 Harley. Last year at the shop we have a long straight in the back myself and a coworker raced a C50 against his punched out 1200cc to a(1300cc). The little 800cc killed it off the line, and the Harley was about 2-3 bike lengths back. Then we switched bikes and had the same result. No contest.

Who cares? If someone is in the market for hole shot power, they wouldn't buy ANY of those bikes.

It's really a fool's game arguing about which bike is faster. There's always a bike that's faster than yours.

Its obvious on a dyno which bike is faster. Thats not saying the fster bike is better,...unless thats what your looking for. And if someone was in the market for a cruiser that could launch of the line fast,...they would'nt be looking at a Vstrom.
