I am sure the bike will be faster than any other naked cruiser has ever been in the mile...and "roll on" performance will humble most sportbikes (equal-sized riders, of course). Hell, at 9.2@153 it is flying considering the bike weight and shaft drive...stock wb, lol! 
Can't wait to see the results...the last Rocket I saw run at Maxton was very strong!

Roll-on perfermance isn't just about the size of the rider. Its also dependent on the other guy not rolling off. Jumping out a couple gears and chopping is pussy. Staying in it till the dust settles is what its all about.

In order to compare roll-on performance between machines, you at least need similar-sized riders...all else being equal. Believe it or not, some 120 lb guys like to compare their performance to 200+ lb guys...as though it says anything about the bike, or their skills! Crazy, right?
But, who cares? This thread is about a 250 hp street cruiser...awesome.

One can compare whatever they want. Light rider on weaker bike vs heavier rider on stronger bike....doesn't matter....a comparision is a comparision....
But chopping the throttle ruins the outcome. Its not uncommon unfortunately to have people chop.

THE BIG Bruiser is a blast to cruise around on and runs on 87 pump gas and I use it for weekend cruising and twisty back road riding and trips to the beach its an everday all day ride anywhere bike that you can pack double and ride coast to coast and gets over 40mpg on the highway and is very comfy and smooth just a real nice friendly and BRUTAL beast

isnt the shaft drive the limiting factor on top speed?

WELL right now the stock gearing is good for 240 mph and we are talking about a big naked cruiser BUT we will be making mods to the drive train to lighten and regear the beast
