Harley vs Jappa Who will win,,,,,,,,

[Streetwise]

Hello all i have recently jumped the ditch and have found an interesting challange being put forward to me. Im looking to buy a bike and as i work in the realm of harleys everything i look at i get a rather large amount of grief about jappa,s.... So i put forward a wee bet to the man with the fastest harley at my work place. Now this is where it gets interesting as his bike has a 124" S&S aftermarket engine in it with all the bells and whistles.... Im looking at either a 07 Z1000 or a 07 FZ1. " who do you think will win "
We are talking 1/4 mile drag..

I'm guessing he will, but it will come down to the rider on the day

InterestingHave seen a few bloody quick Harleys down the 1/4,is his street driven or purpose built?,if a street ridden Harley i will go with the FZI if its a purpose built Harley then will go with that.

I will be interested to see the result. However a drag race tells you nothing about how the bikes will ride on the road.

Its a road harley.. mmmmmmmm sounds like it should be interesting.

I would agree there... both bikes need to be in the same class before you call it a fair race...

A purpose built harley and a purpose built jappa for the quarter mile then it would be a different story. an S&S aftermarket engine isn't exactly a stock Harely is it..

As for the above, do a series of tests...

• 1/4 Mile.
• Hill Climb.
• Track.

Has anyone ridden the FZ1 and if so are they any good. I like the look and fit but didnt have time to take it out for a ride.

If you come second tell him round 2 is over your favourite twistys.

I guess im not fussed about a fair race i was standing up for the jappas in the group. My work world is harley and the people are all harley, But i think on most new large cc bukes i will give him a run for his 30000.

Harley with a 124" S&S motor isn't going to be slow, you could have picked your fight a bit better

" who do you think will win " ..

A better question to ask is...

Who do you think will care? Will it change anything?
