Sunday afternoon while leaving one of our small rual towns, i came up behind a local (bad boy wanna be) on an older evo 1200 sportster.The speed limit was 25mph. As we neared the end of the city limits i sensed a need for a little fun(as did he).I slaped over to sport mode.As he dropped his right elbow i stomped the peadel.Sadly the a6 took what seemed like forever to figure out what gear to downshift to.By then the sportster had jumped a good couple links on me. However, once the rpms climbed i was signaling "left turn clyde" @ about 90 and stayed in it till signaling back into my lane @ 110. He was a good sport when i turned off a mile up the road with a thumbs up. Oh what fun it is....

There's more to it than that...
The 1200cc Sporty is about 4.5 seconds 0-60, and a low 13 in the quarter. That's a bit quicker than a number of Japanese models, and in the ballpark of the Valkarie, or the Honda ST1100 Sport Tourers.

A buddy of mine has NOS on his... 164bhp at the wheel... Mine is stock motor and running 124bhp at the wheel normally aspirated. :)

Bikes have been my passion for several years now but as I get older (and wiser) I am getting into the cages more...:)

Nice kill. My friend in his '98 Camaro A4 'Vert walked me hard from about 70mph on my Deuce with I/E/T 'shield and bags.

I got my ass kicked by a harley! They're some fast ass harleys out there too.

If stock Sporties are low 13s they've made a LOT of progress since I last rode one (early 80s).

My bike is faster than your bike.

LOL Stock Harley's are SOOO slow... You have to spend thousands of dollars to get them any where near what a jap bike can do stock...:judge:

Um, no, you're thinking of the "jap" Ninja 250 with it's 15 second quarter mile.

There's more to it than that...
