Cool

Probably fast enough ( I prefer slow with endless torque ) Here is something interesting when my and my sons Sportsman's were Fairley new about 80 miles on each we did a shootout . Same physical size machines , His a 700 twin , mine a 500 HO . His with 26" tires , mine with 25" tires . Him at 260lbs. Me at 215lbs.
Standing start drag 0-50 I smoked him every time , 3-4 lengths ahead of him . Same with running start , at 15 -20 mph punch it and he'd be in the dust . Teach him to mess around with the oldman Talk about Pissed , He had recently bought it used a year old with 50 miles on it from a dealer for more than a brand new 500 HO would have cost . Temporarily hurt his feelings pretty good I told him if it's any consolation his probably had more pulling power ( HANDY IN THE EVENT HE HAD TO PULL A MANURE SPREADER OR SOMETHING )
