My son just bought a new Harley Rocker C that just came out.   It is a very pretty Harley and is just basically a frame with no extras on it.    Now I want you to understand that I am older but still like to race occasionally.   We were out on a very isolated road 17 miles with no side streets and straight as an arrow.  For those from Houston area it is the road between Sealy and Eagle Lake.  I KNOW HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF MY VALK.  My Valk has 56,000 miles on it.  First time we took off at about 50 miles per hour and got a very even start. I redlined through the gears and at 105 we shut down and the Rocker C front tire was right next to my leg.    the second time we started even at 50 and I was determend and took the Valk over Redline and the Rocker C stayed right next to me till at about 105 he hit 6thgear and started pulling away from me and we shut down at 115.   First time I've been beat by a Harley

going past red line will slow you down, but you know that now.  try it again and shift at 6200 rpm, power shift, won,t hurt it a bit!  If it is stock 96 inch Harley, it should not  have happened. Next time try it from 30mph in second. cooldude  Hoser

That's one of those "relative" things. Even a moderately experienced rider on a ZX-14 could go up against any stock Harley (including the CVO versions) and basically blow it into the weeds.

It's got to be light.   It is just a frame and a set of handlebars.....very small fenders with the back one not even covering all the tire......very wide rear tire.....full size Harley Engine and i don't know what cc
