Per your question John, 1200 Harley is over 70HP and over 60lbs of torque or reversed, I forget.

Many members here say they beat and some say spank the 1200 Sportster. I can't get close and ride next to them several times a month. They have much more thump than my America under 80 MPH.

You are right Phil. We don't get 13 more horses for $500.00, thats for sure.



I've heard these claims of TBA's being able to dust 1200 Sportsters.

I've only ridden two TBA's but have ridden many Sportsters, both 883 and 1200.

There is NFW a TBA is going to "spank" a 1200 Sportster assuming both have the standard stage one intake/exhaust mods.

NFW.

Depending on gearing the TBA might start to catch the Sportster as they hit 100mph but these claims of "spanking" are ridiculous.

I'll even say that a stage one 883 with the stock sprocket will run at least dead even with the TBA up to around 90 mph. At least the one I used to ride would. She ran out of juice at about 90 but I could coax her up to 110 if I didn't have to big of a breakfast.
