Haha, what you are seeing is the v-rod muscle...or screaming eagle.. that compares to the base model like the c109 compares to the m109.
Find a BASE model v-rod and see what kind of race you have. As for racing a 109.. my buddy has a 07 M109r and he beats me.. but i stay close enough that i am not ashamed to try. There is a big difference between the m109r and the M90 as there is also a big difference between a v-rod muscle and a base model v-rod. Re-read what i said.. base model i beat but not by much.. muscle and screaming eagle are a diff story. As for my friend with the v-rod.. we both had crotch rockets and have been riding together for a long time... i would not say he doesn't know how to ride.
If you're beating him, that's exactly what I'm saying. That video was from 2007, I think... The muscle was not available. That V-rod was the 100th anniversary model... Look closer...
I have raced V-Rods. I have won, I have lost. But ALL where within a bike length. Power to weight ratio is physics. Plain and simple, if you beat him, he doesn't know how to race... PERIOD. :bigthumbsup:
Also, the rider on the V-Rod needs to go on a diet mod, or he may have won. He had the hole shot, and a better mph (looks like JUtah ran 105 mph, but it may be 109 mph... not sure).
