Preach it, brother.

I think that Ducati looks hideous.

Give a Nighttrain if I wanted a cruiser. Yummy.

nobody said anything like that at all. gas made a blanket statement and got called on it, had he said it was fast for what it was there wouldnt have been any argument



i got this old pile of crap for around $250 and it was one of the most stupid fun bikes ive ever ridden. you can ask gixxer1k, even at 20hp or so i could still get a power wheelie out of it

I really don't agree with that. It wasn't a blanket statement. It may not be top end fast, but I bet a proper Nightrod will take allot of sportbikes, especially off the line. I stand behind my statement, so I was not "called out" on it.

Crazy2sin's nightrod is not stock, its from there I got the low 11 figure. Yes he can dump it off the line and is probably one of the most skilled people I know in stoplight drags. Still doesn't make it 600 fast

Really you think so from light to light (being you said that)??

I don't own one so I can't even provide physicall proof or race a 600 from here. The one I rode was insane and I would have gave my left testicle to take home.


If Uma was more comfortable on the vrod, I'd trade the nightster in for one.

It can't even take my overgrown dirtbike much less a supersport. Not from a standing start, not from a roll-on.

If you say so. I say differently.

I will only concede that the one I rode may have had more done to it than I know of.
