The harley makes it's peak torque at ~3000-4000 RPM.

It's more tuned for fast acceleration than the sports bike, but it also consumes more gas along the way.
Make it 1/4 mile race, and the sportster will beat the harley fair and square.
Uhm not actually. A 1000cc sportbike when held wide open lofts the front wheel immediately and accelerates "pee yourself" quickly it produce tourque immediately and hp in the higher rpm... that Harley has no chance ever period.
