it might not be but I would not be surprised of there was more the "screamin eagle" stuff on that bike.

That's really not so uncommon. I think it's more of a rider thing than a bike thing. Generally the big Harleys have more torque than HP. And yes, Screaming Eagle parts help. I keep my 03 Fat Boy's 2 tires on the ground. It started life as a stock 88 (1450) with 58hp (sad but true) at 65mpg. It now lives a much freer life as a better breathing 95 (1550) with a 204 cam, Vance & Hines 2 into 1 Pro Pipe HS and Stage 1 intake setup. It was dyno tuned with a Race Tuner module to 84HP and 94 Ft Lb of torque. That guy probably has a 103 stroker kit in that big mother. I consider mine to just be mid level performance. Quite a bit more HP and torque can be had with these engines.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

I wouldnt care so much but harleys cost so much already and then to have to blow even more money to get some good performance. Obviously I do not look at old harleys like this and then that would be stupid since our bikes are not high hp or torque, just the newer harleys. Just my thoughts though. I am like you in the keeping the wheels on the ground. I like hard accel and even a bit of tire spin but I like to have BOTH wheels! ;D

Get the revs up and you can do that with a stock sportster 1200 or any un "bagged" big twin.

It's the fully trimmed ones that have a hard time doing it. Ruins clutches pretty quick.  :D

for me it's just the spectacle of that behemoth (600-700+ lbs?) lifting it's huge snout. kinda like watching a c5-a lift into the air.

those pipe did sound good though.



btw: i found on another clip that he's a stunt rider.
