Harley 120R Verse Rocket X

[mully95]

A bunch of guys at work was fooling around and mentioned to another employee that my bike would out run his Harley. The guy shook his head like no it won't..... well I told him I would give him 5 bike lengths to run it. He still turn me down.

Harley Davidson...... the best way to turn gas into noise.

When I was having my 2014 Rocket roadster dynode the dyno guy said he had recently tuned a Harley with that motor in it plus the owner had spent a lot of coin on extra **** for the motor and the best he could get it to was 125hp at the rear wheel. He overlaid my tune over the Harley tune and mine was around a half inch higher on the graph than the Harley. My bike was a stock standard motor but I had added ramair induction, the bigger throat mufflers and a decat pipe system for a nice airflow. The R3 ended up 134hp at the rear wheel. BUT.....you cant put a guy down cos he likes Harleys...I have some good friends who just love their Harleys like I love my Rocket....alls good as long as you ride right?

I think the point here is that Harley riders although fellow brothers tend to have a higher ratio of over inflated egos........ thats what earns them the special badge,

I have on a couple occasions offered Harley riding mates to take my R3R for a burn but they always seem to find excuses not to

Same here, my buddy told me "I'm afraid then I'd want one"

None of my riding friends have ridden my TR3t yet, I offer but so far no takers, I think they look at how massive it looks from the seat and just shy away from it. The only taker so far is my son who helped load the tune into it. He came back all grin, said it would absolutely cook his 103"- built Road King and I was like "YuThink?" I love this thing, its like bringing a bat to a ping pong game. The 120R is a nice brag I suppose for peeps that dont know better. My only problem with it is my main problem with all things Harley.... and that is C O S T... Will always have harleys cuz I just dig em but not for drag racing LOL. Cool of you to allow someone to ride yours. My motto; (if they can ride and I know/like them) " Sure go ahead,its insured, just dont hurt yourself"

Went on a nice poker run yesterday and had a lot of fun. A lot of good people. Ran across a guy on a CVO with a 120r Harley engine. He paid a extra $10,000 thousand dollars for this motor. claimed it had 141 horse power.

I can never understand why guys do this. Why not just buy an R3 and then stand out in the yard and burn $20K? You'd be just as broke, but at least you'd have a fast bike...and a reliable one at that!
