Dyna VS V-Rod

Try this "calculator" for starters to see what it would take to put you in the ballpark. My bike weighs 607 with 1/2 tank of fuel and I'm 195 ready to ride. 111hp at the rear wheel...

agreed a dyna MIGHT stand a chance MAYBE with a turbo, a bottle, and some serious headwork. at that point the only thing is certain is your going to have to replace clutches and belts and what not almost every year depending upon how much and how hard you regularly ride.

I have a Dyna with a 103. Not "well built", just a factory stage 2.
I also have a V Rod (Street rod model).
The Dyna is nice, and I ride it more, but its not faster
However, the Dyna has more torque, and a lower 1st gear (the VRod is a 5 speed). If it was a drag race, from a dead start, I think it would depend a lot on how well the VRod rider could launch. I think I could launch my Dyna faster than my StreetRod, but I don't really try on either bike.
