Wrong demographic profile.
IE Excessive plastic and not enough chrome.
For the most part owning a Harley Davidson has little to do with performance and / or handling.

It's Chris... Chris Carr. :?
No need to bother Chris.
I own an XR 750 and live near world famous Infineon Raceway.

Sir Dale, with all due respect (and a lot is due....) an XR750 Harley is a about as close to a production Harley as my RC51 is to Nicki Haydens (or Bostroms!) Like the saying goes "if Harley made airplanes, would YOU fly in one?" (granted, I dont think I'd fly Husaberg airlines either!) But IF I had one you'd be the guy to put it right (ass kissing finished 'till further notice....)

Rocky,
Believe it or not:
The XR 750 was available as a "limited production" motorcycle through 1980.
I purchased My 1980 XR 750 in half mile (Junior) trim brand new.
As described said motorcycle produced a respectable 75 "DynoJet" RWHP @ 7800 rpm on pump fuel.
Power delivery is linear and very predictable with the XR.
The massive crankshaft does take a bit of time to wind up, however, it would be tough to out do even a stock XR with a Husaberg single. (1/4 mile and up of course)
Would I actually wager my XR in a race? No way! Not even against a jogger as the XR 750 engine has been known to self destruct without warning and for no apparent reason. :lol:
Hope you are well.
Best Regards,
Dale

The Husaberg is 80 plus pounds lighter!
However, all else remaining equal the Harley is easier to ride fast in a straight line.

I'm not sure if your post was motivated due to the Pinks!! episode last night with the Vrod and the mid 80 GS1150 Zook, but I had the thought that the Harley 'dude' was going to loose, and loose bad. But hey I was wrong. I caught it mid episode and got shocked. That Vrod hauled!!!
I have no idea how the berg would do, but Dale,which would be faster, the modded Harley or the modded berg when you were finished?

Here is my V-Rod tale!
Experienced about 3 and a half years ago.
So, I’m on the way home after a great scoot with a friend, as I sit at a stoplight, a V-Rod turns in front of me. The light turns green and I zip off in search of a closer look. I see him take the ramp onto the freeway and I juice it up some more and turn on the freeway too. I have a completely clear lane and pace him comfortably (about 140 kmh) and enjoy the “V-Rod-Knob Showâ€Â

And if you want to drag with a Vrod you need to
convert it to chain drive or break belts.You have
to admit though,they did a good job of copying
Japanese motor technology.
We took a CR500 with a street tire and taller
gearing to Martin dragway years ago and it's
best time was 12.10.It was hard keeping the
frontend down and would have went 11s with
a bar for sure.I have done a lot of street racing
in the last 33 years and have never witnessed a
race for pinks.Bunches of money yes,but most
serious racers would not want their speed secrets
and pride and joy in someone elses hands.Only
in Hollywood.
