Guest Angus Posted October 17, 2008 #1 Posted October 17, 2008 I was just curious how fast or slow a RSTD runs a 1/4 mile and Speed. It sure feels slow compared to my FJR.
RSTDdog Posted October 18, 2008 #3 Posted October 18, 2008 I'm no engineer, but roughly 30% less horsepower and 30% more weight might have something to do with it. I won't be dragging racing any FJRs for pink slips....
lockdoc Posted October 18, 2008 #5 Posted October 18, 2008 I read somewhere that it does a 13.76 which is pretty respectable. (same bore and stroke as your FJR)
N3FOL Posted October 18, 2008 #6 Posted October 18, 2008 Maybe strip some of the chrome and metal parts on the RSTD. I bet it will do better than 10 !
AZSpyder Posted October 18, 2008 #7 Posted October 18, 2008 Looks like someone got a 99 Venture to do 13.65. Would a RSTD be a bit faster being a bit lighter or is the Venture better at top end drag with a fairing to break the wind? Should be close. Jerry

Brake Pad Posted October 19, 2008 #10 Posted October 19, 2008 florida doesn't have hills to help you go faster, thats cheating:doh:
GeorgeS Posted October 19, 2008 #11 Posted October 19, 2008 The FJR has a 145 HP, Engine. 650 lb Wet Wgt. ( not dry ) RSTD, has about 96 HP, Engine. 844 lb. Wet Wgt. ( not dry ) A considerable difference in Power to Weight Ratio.
tazmocycle Posted October 19, 2008 #12 Posted October 19, 2008 a friend and me ran our bike at a harley drag meet, and we were running 8.7 sec@ 78mph in the 1/8 mile. i had a '01 venture with a dyna 3000 ign box and dan had a '05 rstd with kromewerks mufflers and opened air box and dyna 3000 ign box. i wish i knew what it did in the 1/4 mile. we both had pretty good reaction times and was within a few thousandth of a sec to each other in about 7 runs. i won a hundred dollar gift cert. from the harley shop bt 1 thousandth of a sec.
