Sportsters have 10 more horses than those numbers now, so does the Thruxton.

A stock America cannot beat a Thruxton. The America stock 1/4 mile time is 14s.

I am very willing to accept Cycle Worlds professional rider times for the Sporty in 2004 with 10 less horses at 13.25.

Do the math. Stock Sportster vs. Stock America the Sporster wins.

Freak Pipes, jets on the America/Speedmaster vs. Stage 1 on the Sportster the Sportster wins.

The bike has 40% more displacement. They are not comparable bikes. The 883 is the comparable bike for us. There is no embarrassment there.
