    You want to test your bike’s speed. Go to track day and race against other brands. You’ll find yourself on the trailer pretty quick. This thing is quick, but isn’t a drag bike. VMax, XDiavel, M109r, VRod Muscle...
    2016 F6B Matte Grey
    2016 XDiavel (Sadly...gone)
    2014 M109r (FHD Classic) (Sadly...gone)
    2014 VRSCF (Gone)
    2006 VTX 1300C (Gone)

    Oh. I thought you meant the F6B should have smoked the McLaren. I thought I did pretty good.

    I did say "closer to 6 grand".
    Must be the small print.

    I was in the Honda shop the other day to P/U a part. A salesman & I got talking, he showed me a Kawasaki NINJA (1300 I think) that's supercharged. Weights around 550#, 1/4 mile in the hi 8's. The supercharger is built right into the engine, a real clean looking deal, can't tell it's a supercharger. There's another one that's faster yet, special order. They also make a strict drag race model (not built for the high way) that's 89,000 bucks. Salesman was talking fast & really into this bike. I didn't retain all the exact numbers. I'm sure it's online.

    These days if they want a 300hp motor, they build it to 350 and tune it down to meet standards.
    Take away the detune and you get the real deal.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Ford F 150 Raptor with the Roush option produces over 600hp with the supercharged version and could most likely "blow " an F6B away without much effort....These bikes are fast, but not that fast!!....My guess is the one talked about on this post was not stock!!!!....Ride safe

    Do we we really have time to list a dozen plus vehicles. The F6B is quick but by no means super fast. From a basic new Ford Mustang GT auto to any of the exotic 6+ cylinder cars.

    I think Opas Ride is right on the money on this. That Raptor would have been my first guess. cueman
