Yep the original Sportster was made to counteract the British invasion of the late 50's, it even came with a right hand shift, so quite a bit of history there.
I ran my T-bird against a friends 1200 Sporty quite a few times and was suprised that it kept up until third gear then I left him, the Sporty couldn't keep up at all with my old 1974 Trident but Sporty's (1200) are good running bikes and I wouldn't take anything away from them.
This is a repeat from my page one response.
Only found this comparison to 1200R and Thruxton from Motorcyclist
Corrected 1/4-mile (Harley 1200R) 13.02 sec. @100.03 mph
(Triumph Thruxton)13.26 sec. @ 99.99 mph
0–60 mph (Harley 1200R) 4.66 sec.
(Triumph Thruxton) 4.99 sec.
Top-gear roll-on,
60–80 mph (Harley 1200R) 5.11 sec. (Triumph Thruxton) 6.45 sec.
