Will my R3T leave a HD V-Rod Muscle in the dust?

[MIG]

Having a V-Rod Muscle, I follow a V-Rod forum and I find it humorous they think it's the fastest cruiser out there... I'll admit she red-lines at 9K (Porsche engineered water cooled engine) and can easily hit 90mph in 3rd gear; however, even weighing 200+lbs less I still don't think that's enough to out run my R3T. I don't clean out the cobwebs in or near town, but I wouldn't mind seeing them go head to head in a quarter mile on the track or a one mile scenario. I've seen an R3R hit 116mph on the quarter-mile drag strip here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Has anyone left a V-Rod in the dust?

YOUR stock R3t is restricted and tuned for low end power and cruising and the Vrod should beat your bike unless you RETUNE and release the beast with a 3 to 1 exhaust and airintake then youll have 165 + hp that will give you the ability to whip the SHULTS outa that V ROD

I sure have, a few times. All mine were while rolling out on the highway, generally take-offs from 50 - 60 mph.
I find it difficult to find folks willing to GO from a stop.

I sure have. Although generally out on the highway from about 50 - 60 mph.
I ride a R3R, so I'm not sure about a R3T.

Sorry to say but my money is most definitely on the VRod muscle

A FRIEND HAS a SCREAMIN EAGLE V ROD that made 113 HP on the DYNO and he weighs 135 lbs I beat him several times with my 09 CLASSIC and I weigh 185LBS

Just found a 2014 - 2015 MCN Performance stat sheet.
FWIW -
VRSCF V-Rod Muscle: RWHP-105.0 - RWTQ-73.1 - wgt-677.5 - top speed-137.6 - qtr mi-11.73 - 60 to 0 brake-113.79
Rocket III Roadster: RWHP-119.36 - RWTQ-135.71 - wgt-807 - top speed-120.8 - qtr mi-11.57 - 60 to 0 brake-112.33
Me thinks a R3R with intake, exhaust & tune would have no problema smokin' the V-Rod Muscle!

Hahaha, IDK, but mine will....

Any rocket with even a set of tors/ air filters and a decent tune will crap on a stock V Rod. Rider skill equal that is. A Rod has no torque under 5000 and is harder to launch. Top gear roll-ons, the R3 will spank the Rod. The top speed mentioned above was with the speed limiter in place for the R3.

I was going to comment on that but you beat me to it. With stock pipes and air plus new tune the bike will do a easy 130 MPH.
