I'm gearing limited to 186 and it get's there QUICK.
EDIT: The R6 is 200 lbs lighter too.
Bikes Blues and BBQ a few years back... Our group on street cruisers came up on some crotch rockets at a red light.. Turned green and they zipped off. We caught back up to them at the next light. Same scenario played out. This time when the light changed I Jumped on the 1200 Sporty.. arrived at the light with them.. WTF looks from them all.. LOL. Wife wasn't too thrilled.. but I was smiling.. Being lighter than the other Harley's they do get a decent hole shot.
