Harley Davidson's limited-edition factory drag motorcycle
Often times the inspired designs of manufacturers began as a simple
conjecture among staff, wondering what something could be if their
ideas were greenlit. Harley-Davidson engineers and builders, part
of their Custom Vehicle Operations, came up with the idea of
creating a factory drag bike that was capable of sub 10-sec drag
times, straight out of the box. Instead of being another napkin
idea that was thrown away, the project was approved and just in
under a year they revealed their fruits of their labor: the 2006
Harley-Davidson VXRSE Screaming Eagle Destroyer.
The Screaming Eagle Destroyer is a special and limited-edition
factory drag racing motorcycle from Harley-Davidson. Armed with a
1,300cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine producing 165 horsepower, the
bike is capable of producing sub 10-second quarter mile times
repeatedly. Upgraded with a laundry list of performance items like
a stroker crankshaft, high compression pistons, a racing
transmission with a multi-stage lock up clutch, programmable shift
light, two-stage launch control, and assortments of other pro-level
equipment, all from the factory! Originally production was slated
for 150-300 units, but the overwhelming reactions from H-D dealers
had production bumped up closer to 600 total units. What was
originally supposed to be a niche special project turned into an
aspirational halo bike for Harley-Davidson.
This Screaming Eagle was purchased new in 2006 by its first owner,
a California resident and enthusiast of all things drag racing. He
added this dragster motorcycle next to his Kent Fuller nitromethane
dragster in his collection, garage stored it and kept in
museum-like condition. In 2011, Canepa purchased the motorcycle to
be a part of the Canepa Motorsports Museum.
Due to the fastidious care given to the Eagle while it was in the
first owner's collection, everything on the bike remained in new
condition! No miles, no driving, no wear, nothing. It was the
closest thing you could have to a freshly-delivered Harley-Davidson
at the dealership. This drag bike will be at home in any collection
of rare motorcycles, especially ones that were meant to do one
thing: drag race.
