Default Honda shadow 1100 vs. B4C

I had two of my huge *** buddies in the car (both are 230 ish) and half a tank. The shadow was an 04 and also a friend. I don't know why he wanted to run buy he got a hair up his *** and tried to flyby pass me right after I made a right hand turn after a stop. I was kind of expecting it so when I saw him goose it I punched it and it downshifted right when he was at my door. He hung for a few seconds and I started pulling him pretty bad and he quit When we got back to the destination he was like yadda yadda coulda woulda he he. I kinda feel bad cause he really thought for some reason it was gonna smoke me bad. He'd be reall pissed if my car was empty lol

Now guys I know its not a crotch rocket but I was rolling around with an extra 450+ lbs.

Now who knows what a shadow sabre 1100 runs? Surely to god they can run in the 13s right?


Mods: Tuning, Lid, muffler delete, some weight reduction, most of the free mods.

I had a V-Star 1100 and it was slow. My friend in a full bolt-on LS1 would pass me in his 2nd gear easy

Most cruising bikes like that are slow.
Anyone know about the Harley V-Rod? I love that thing

HAH! My shadow 750 cant get above 100. I will most likely have you from 0-45 but thats about it lol. an 1100 however, is considerably faster than mine. Most likely a 13sec bike.
Nice kill nevertheless - especially with all the extra weight.

It would be lucky to hit a 13 second 1/4 time. That's why I switched to crotch rockets, more fun lol

I've ridden my buddys vrod quite a bit. The Harley dealerships claim high 11s, which seems about right. It'll smoke my 1200 sportster pretty easily. I'm pretty sure the base Vrod is limited to 145 M.P.H, but I'd say it could do 160 if it was reprogrammed. They are a rather expensive bike to mod as well. A Vrod Destroyer on the other hand can run 9s right off the show room floor. But 40 grand seems a bit expensive to blow on a bike.
