Hey,
When you launch this bike hard, like say a rev and clutch dump, does it tend to lift the front tire or spin the rear tire?
My last gen would spin and do a nice burn out.
 
It depends 100% on the pavement and the grip you achieve. Most often for me the tire spins but sometimes with good grip it will lift the front tire. Sometimes too much, lol. And you dont even need the clutch, just peg it in first gear with the clutch already engaged.

as long as your nowhere near the sidewall of the tire!!! Are you running dark side with the new Rocket atomsplitter?

No, I was a darksider on my 05 Standard. With the Potenza Grid I had on it the grip was tremendous, even in the corners (beat a guy on his VTX1300 to the Tail of the Dragon resort). Sadly I traded that Rocket when my knees could no longer take its weight. Still miss it, but been enjoying the smaller (lighter) bikes I have.
