He knew under what conditions he would win.
The other rider didn't think about it.

Yeah ... He just relied on the idea that the blade was faster ... and got his arse kicked ...
The video amuses me ... there is no way that Harley should beat a blade ... Hell, I should beat that Harley on my 650 Bandit ... which I wouldn't even try against a blade ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Best Frenemy you could have!
You'd have a better than average chance against the blade, unless the rider understood the situation and knew what to do.
Pissed a mate off twice in a row on a CB900 vs his tuned and modified ZX10R. The sportsbikes simply don't deliver the power low down, so you'll monster them at least to 50kph, but then they'll gain later. You have to hold the revs up on launch to get off the line quick smart.
Oh, and don't do that on something like a CB900. Launch is quick without revs. With revs you'll looking at the sky

Yeah....SS bikes seems they can accelerate faster from 100kph to 200kph than 0 to 100kph.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

What do you reckon oab.... how are those one handed off the throttle wheelies from 3000rpm going? Now power down low ehh... must all be in your imagination

Much like my 650 Bandit ... it's the oil/air cooled model - not the revamped water-cooled model - it too runs on higher revs - peak horses is at 95000rpm ... so it sits somewhere between the really revvy sprots bikes and the low down power of the other ILFs ...You'd have a better than average chance against the blade, unless the rider understood the situation and knew what to do.

It will scare the hell out of many sprots bike riders .... the higher rev range is just enough to give me, like you say, a better than average chance .. even at speed ... against an average sprots bike rider ..

OK... low down = just off idle. Happy?What do you reckon oab.... how are those one handed off the throttle wheelies from 3000rpm going? Now power down low ehh... must all be in your imagination
Why do sportsbikes have such tall first gears and do 180kph+?
And yet people still loop them
Jam and tarts....
Of course. That's why Crasherfromwayback will destroy me on a POS 883 (so I'm told, I don't doubt it) even though I have more power/less weight/more gears/superior bike.
So, it means nothing really
A K5 Gixxer thou will make more torque than any sub 1000cc IL4 of the era, everywhere. But, it has a mental long 1st gear and a funny ability to flip if you're not terribly good at launching.
Alloy, stainless and Ti polishing.
Bling your bike out!
