My buddy that I ride with has a 1200 sportster, we were going at it now and again like neck and neck with me pulling a way a little hitting 5th a lot later than him. But we havent got a chance to do it properly off the start with nothing but open road in front of us. Still he was the first to mention having trouble keeping up with me while riding. And at the end of the 150 mile day all I heard from him was that his butt hurts. We both have intake and exhaust modifications...of course mines a 790cc though
