I Bought the Fastest Harley Davidson Ever Made 

well look at all that plywood behind him, the guy must be a millionaire.

MISTER POOTIN 😶‍🌫️

$13k seems like a steal for one of the most notable bikes Harley ever made.

shes doesnt know , dont tell her

@@BikesandBeards or does she

Not a single person I know of opens a barn and proclaims weak valve springs will keep a graveyard vehicle down. It might float valves, it might miss, but it will run so send it if it's doomed to die.

@@spacecadet0 Do you completely understand what can happen to a high-performance engine such as this, if it has weak valve springs? It can do MUCH more than just "miss" or "float valves". With the valve lift that this engine certainly has, the valves are awfully close to the pistons. With weak springs, the valves can EASILY kiss the pistons if the springs can no longer control them properly, ESPECIALLY at the RPMs that thes race engines operate at. That would instantly destroy the engine. With a normal "economy" or lower power OEM engine the much lower valve lift, lower engine speeds, and the engineers designing in more room for safety, a weak valve spring isn't a huge issue. But in an engine like this, it most CERTAINLY IS. 4 valve springs for a 2 cylinder is inexpensive, and there's NO reason NOT to do it.

@@spacecadet0i don’t think springs will go bad by just sitting. I bought an R1 that was crashed, didn’t run for three years. I fixed the bent forks and wheel, put gas and oil, and started it up. It runs fine, and pulls to 12k rpm. Unless the v-rod uses the cheapest springs ever made, which I doubt since it was made by Porsche

@@PatricioGarcia1973 fatigue comes in many forms. Cook it once.

If the motor locks up it could lock up the rear tire and the consequences could be fatal, no video or time slip is worth it if you don't live to show it off

I googled lite. It means low fat / low sugar?

Depends how you take the name destroyer in what way 😂😂

kid's smile

He looked so happy

He was the happiest man alive

He could get a regular V Rod and interchange parts.

V-Rod is a great motor and a fun bike, the only issue & its a big one..... if you are 6'4" you can't ride this bike for any distance at all and it has a 110 mile range.. so when i bought mine it was maybe 100 bikes in the state of Fla.

To stay it's not safe you are going against the National Hot Rod Association safety Safari that forces every motorcycle or car manufacturer or sponsor to go through a series of check inspection as the National Hot Rod Association has the highest safety record ever boy learn how to do research before you put your brain in gear

@@donniebaker5984 Are you drunk? That was called a joke.

We just sold one at auction in Oregon

MMI Phoenix got one, too. That one he's showing looks exactly like the one we assembled and modded out at school. Was an awesome project!

You need it flat a little because it’s a race bike

@@pacyx5208 I think Justin walker knows better then the guy who owns 100s of bikes

@@BigBoz4 he literally said he knows it’s flat and he needs to air it up haha

its only flat on the bottom

@@pacyx5208 You only lower the pressure on your drive tire/tires. If you lower the pressure on a tire that's not getting power from the drivetrain it's just more resistance slowing you down

Me. :)

Yes

me

Yea me too

In Tennessee it's a tire.

Did you know there are ways to lower the suspension on motorcycles and did you know there are other ways to just take that engine out of that stupid dirt bike and put it in a hardtail frame with no suspension at all but just a few inches off the ground or should I say the quarter mile drag strip

@@donniebaker5984 what?

It’s the pan America not “allroad” lol

Lauri what you doing here?

@@dongatello6969 IIRC he used to race bikes, not sure if he still does, but it was mantioned in their older videos, even some footage of him riding, i am also a bit surprised to see him here, but not that surprised

"That's a Honda Davidson, man!"

Fools, vrod was the best thing Harley ever made. This on the other hand was a joke.

It WAS a Harley. It was never meant to replace the classic bagger. I still own a carbureted Evo Electra Glide and a V-Rod. They are both my favorite bikes I've ever owned for very different reasons. Both Harley!!!

I love my Nightrod. What makes it awesome is the fact that it’s Harley but in a different way.

The fastest harley is probably as fast as a $10,000 yamaha

super real

@@BikesandBeards and superunknown and there are people today in the Harley Owners Group that do not even know this bike exists nor do they know the fact that Harley-Davidson took it to 10 consecutive world championship against the Suzuki Hayabusa and the most pitiful thing I heard yesterday play spoken to be by one of the owners of my local Cannonball Harley-Davidson that is a satellite store of Indianapolis Indiana and she had never heard the fact that Harley-Davidson w o n 1 0 Championship US national drag races and last year Angelita Stampy won the Pro Stock National drags again for Harley-Davidson making that 11 championships all together of Harley-Davidson being the fastest motorcycle ever in the Pro Stock division as Angelina sampey is the newest member of the Vance & Hines Pro Stock drag racing team and this year since they Suzuki fanboys have been butthurt for the last 12 years nrha allowed to Suzuki to have their 4 valve head larger injectors larger valves bigger displacement getting them an extra hundred 50 horsepower more over the Harley-Davidson and last I heard last week Harley-Davidson is in the points lead in again this year in Pro Stock drag racing but it is only privateers as there are no sponsors this year at all. Harley-Davidson has completely pulled out of every type of racing they have been in for the last hundred years. why you might ask as it was Harley-Davidson who invented dirt track racing and it was Harley-Davidson who held the first International Road Race back in 1918 1919 well Harley-Davidson just made the biggest screw up again by hiring CEOs who do not care for racing but trying to recover their losses since the plan pandemic just like back when they fired Eric Buell as that CEO said do we really need Eric and his racing Hobby guest actor Eric had given Harley-Davidson several championships GP racing and they went on to say who rides sport bike anyway

You mean Dunflop?

@@goodmorning8172 , What's the difference between Dunlap and Michelin Scorcher?

Absolutely.. I'd toss the valve springs also. I would guess that it's been sitting with at least one valve open for quite a while. That's a killer for springs when there's a large cam involved.

Most Harley Davidson dealers have all kinds of bikes on display. It's because they won't move off sticker.

The dealership i work for has a harley-davidson wla on display. I get to ride it around the shop twice a week.

@@chonkyhonky1887 Take it out to lunch. Without a speedometer, he wouldn't know how many miles you put on it. Better make sure the boss ain't there. Someone might hear it.)

@@karrpilot7092 i personally have put i would guess 100 miles on it in 5 months... Ill ask him if i can run it to McDonalds tomorrow. He is pretty cool about that. Ive taken his bikes, showroom bikes etc..

Yeah, this one was hard on my headphone-covered ears.

@@skyblazethereborn547 screw that. Bring it to Utah and put a headlight on it. They’ll take your money if it has dot tires and the minimum requirements.

Bring it to ,Auckland,New Zealand,fk the street legal,how they gonna catch ya,we got Skoda,s for cop cars,🤣🤣🤭😂😀😳

Mississippi cops won't bother you

@@Upliftyourbrothers so will the stats of Indiana as I acquired a state of Indiana motorcycle title after you get a cop to sign off on the inspection list of street legal lights Etc and I bought a vanity plate that said xr600r as that was my street bike for 20 years riding a race bike on the street. If you want the biggest Hoot get a cr500r 2-stroke and put some lights on it....and of course you will need a vanity plate with the numbers of CR500R ...AND you can ride it to now popular vintage motocross races win the race and tie your trophy to the front number plate headlight combo like Marlon Brando did in the movie The wild one when he had won a race in that movie on his old Triumph then go bar-hopping showing off your trophy LOL hehehe

@@SamlSchulze1104 but it will not turn 6 seconds in the quarter mile and it will not beat the reigning Champion that is Harley-Davidson

If you are serious about riding, start small. 100cc dirtbike will get you moving enough to learn the basics. From there....the sky is the limit

yeah me too

you tube it ..you will find destroyers doing the 1320 in 9.3 seconds ...in was in 2012 Andrew Hines on a Harley Davidson was the first man to ever run the 1320 in 6 seconds on pro stock motorcycle ... this happened at the U.S. Nationals 2012 Indianapolis Indiana Lucas Oil Raceway Park racing capital of the world and my hometown. Sean I never had a good word for you when you first started out as you are always sort of bad-mouthing the Harley-Davidson but now I have to eat crow Sean as you are now a true gangster for Harley-Davidson. As I want you to know there are even hog the Harley Owners Group Club that don't even know this motorcycle exists read along did they ever know Harley-Davidson won the national drags 10 consecutive years in a row against Suzuki Hayabusa. Sean today you look like you're doing pretty well for yourself and you will never need the money that that bike would bring so if you ever sold it

My man, I know exactly what your going through, I have the same nervous stomach that you have. And I ve had my share of break ups. Here are some tips 1) no drugs or alcohol. Those things will not numb the pain they will just prolong it. 2) surround yourself with good friends who can help distract you. And 3) you never know what Gods plan is for your life. the last girl that broke up with me just got done putting our 4 kids to bed and we have been happily married for 12 years. God could also have another better girl for you. So until she comes around become the man that she deserves. And find your comfort in the word of God

interesting thanks for the info

Also a few in motorsickle museums around the country as well as a few HD dealerships who have held onto one as a showpiece...

@@FJ80Coop I know Chi-Town Harley used to have one on display. Conrads Harley has one still on display. There might be one at Fox River Harley still too. I'll pick my General Managers brain and see if any of our sister location might still have one.

Definitely

You can still buy brand new and still in the crate for 50000

@@donniebaker5984 Good to know... I will NOT be spending 50k lol

Yeah. Gather the parts needed to get track-ready and just sit on it for a decade. I bet the value on this will double or triple. Of course, there is always the risk that it won't.

@@27Zangle it is a rare bike, limited, never been used to race, definitely it has all the parameters to become rare collectible. Would a gem stone of any collection.

I'd hang it from the ceiling.

Back when these wete new, my local H-D dealer had one, they wanted something like $30k or $60k, I can't remember for sure, but it was something outrageous like that.

Lol tf

Destroy - her ?

I don't get it.....:/

Looks like dads gonna be a shaparone for the prom,(if thats how you spell it)

Dads a vet,got 15 guns,has anger issue,s and love,s his little girl,,,so bring her home in one piece,,,,,,and not 1 second late...and no hand prints....

He was so full of shit, the Stage IV's from Harley for the M8's push 141 HP and about 140 ft-lbs and they are not a "simple cam change" whole new head and pistons crying out loud. Also, I don't believe him on the valve springs. I own 2012 V-Rod anniversary edition and had a destroyer. They don't just "self-destruct." and if it were the case, getting the valve covers off on these V-Rods is a 1-2 hour job and people like Fitzgerald motorsports machine their own parts to rebuild the destroyer, same with Vreeland's.

@@Joes432 hell, check out shadetree surgeons channel where they dyno the 131 M8. Just like Shaun said, makes around 130 HP. Ive only seen one harley make over 200. And the motor had so much work in it there was no harley parts left in it

I don't think the cam change was the 200*200, because he was talking about forced induction and such, I think he was claiming a cam change could get you close to that destroyers numbers, which is also unlikely.

@@TearlessGosling I rewatched it. Qoute "we can get close to those numbers with a cam only in the Milwaukee 8. It's pretty simple to make over 200 HP"

@@Joes432 the Destroyer came with beehive valve springs made out of titanium that are built by Screamin Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson drag racing team headquarters just north of Lucas Oil Raceway Park Brownsburg Indiana headquarters for Vance & Hines and the racing capital of the world Indianapolis Indiana my hometown

Springs wear from being compressed and released, they wouldn't wear out from just being compressed.

@@bdr7557 especially since those valve springs are the Beehive design made out of titanium built by Terry Vance and Byron Hines who used to work for Russ Collins if you catch my drift

@@bdr7557 Right. Gun forums have endlessly discussed whether storing loaded magazines causes their springs to fail. Engineers and experiences have concluded no weakness and no failures from storing springs compressed. The HD dealer was just spouting HD BS.

@@bdr7557 I used to think that also, but then I found out first hand that they DO... My drag race big-block has a roller cam with close to .750 lift and valve springs with 850lbs of open pressure. I used to put it away for the winter without touching the valvetrain at all. One year when I pulled the car out of storage for the season, I noticed a head gasket leaking. I pulled the heads off to repair it, and figured I would give them a quick once over as long as they were off the motor. As I was checking the valve springs for tension, I noticed that they were all fairly close except for a few of them that were pretty far out of spec compared to the rest of them, I'm talking like by 50+lbs. I went back and looked at the position of the lifters in the short block as I hadn't rotated it since I removed the heads, and sure enough, every valve spring that was down on pounds lined up with every lifter that was up on the cam lobes. I now pull the rocker arms off when I put the car away for the winter, they are shaft rockers and I can take them on and off without even having to re-lash them. Takes less than 30 minutes to do, and is worth it.

@@donniebaker5984 Being a beehive design or beimg made out of Titanium has nothing to do with storing them under compression.

what took you so long

Saaame

@@BikesandBeards The garage has no WiFi!!

@@itisaris7376 rip

ha ha, same.

Nope just keep front tire in the air

If the engine was completely sealed off in a showroom environment (which it sounds like it was), then I doubt there is rust. Also, you are correct about spring distortion. They have to be pushed out of their elastic range into their permanent deformation range, which isn't going to happen while sitting- that usually happens when an engine is overclocked. you can always just take the valve covers off and check for damage, rust pitting, and measure the tolerances.

He sounded like they knew from experience. Personally I’d never heard of such a thing.

Yep. High-powered engines with factory crankcases tend to do this. I'm into drag racing Oldsmobiles and with a factory block, every time I would get over 600-650 h.p. out of one, the main bearings would end up wasted in no time. The OEM blocks just weren't strong enough and would flex, pinching the bearings against the crank. I stepped up to an aftermarket 4-bolt block with MUCH beefier main bearing saddles and webs, and a Billet crank, and now I have no more bottom end issues at over 700h.p. and 7000+ RPMs.

😂

Especially with a V-Twin... 👍

Why not, doesn't handle well?

@@ntdscherer the v-rod is not the preferred bike for woods and sticks

@@thomasgriffith5544 Woods and sticks, like riding through the forest on twisty roads?

It's "in other words" fyi.

I ride a 96ci dyna and i also hopped on my buddies superduke 1290r. You can literally hit 100mph in first gear

Most of the modern litter sport bikes can get into 9's.

Yeah it should run high 9s. Pretty much any sport bike with a bit of suspension set up or a swing arm is running in the 9s. I’ve seen 600s scraping 9s and 1000s running 8s

With the wheelie bars, the slick tire, and air shifter it should be able to get into the 9’s. Most of that will come from being quick off the line and through the first 1/8th. Would be relatively slow on the big end.

Re: Modern Liter bikes can get into 9's. Maybe so with the right rider, but the average person wont buy a new liter bike and RIP a 9sec pass. I've seen more than a few people brag about what a magazine says their bike can do and be handed an 11 or 12 sec time slip after their trip to a dragstrip.

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 - Watched every video possible. I have loved his content for a while.

Right

Raped ape. 🤣

Everyone who drag races "pins the throttle at the hit".. What was so special about those 2 doing it that amazed you so much? 🤔 Just curious..

Mr Beast are a bunch of miscarriages that didn't flush. xD

Let’s not forget this bike is nearly 20 years old now itself and no 30 year old jap bike is going to be laying down sub 10 second 1/4 mi times like this bike does. Despite have the same power. Heck even the late model jap sports bikes, very few of them can put down a sub 10 second 1/4mi time, especially without a good rider.

It's funny. Now that the VRSC lineup is over, all the old-time haters are coming around and starting to grudgingly admit it was a good bike. Sean's always been a friend of the V-Rod - one of the few. I'll always have my VRSCF.
