Apples to Oranges. Who really gives a rats a@# which bike is faster? I once owned a Hayabusa and still own a GSXR 1000. I also own a 2007 Big Dog Chopper. I didn't buy the chopper to race my Jap bike! Big Dogs are on a new level. As others have said, "he is just jealous". Tell him to buy a Big Dog and go ride. If he's worring about speed, buy a Jap Rocket! I know people like him, always trying to find something to say to piss you off. If you didn't own the Big Dog he would find something else to compare.
