A neighbours buddy dropped by and was saying his bike had a porsche engine on it. Said it was a 10sec bike.
I didn't get a chance to have a look as i was drying my car (black hates dried on water spots).
I dunno if he was blowing smoke up my *** or not. I'll look closer next time he's by.

Anyone hear of such an animal?

Harley Davidson v-rod. Porsche did some engineering work for it. So your friend is correct.

You are right......Porsche did the redesign from the race engine but I don't think the V-Rod is a 10 sec. bike.

Correct - it's a 12 to 12 and half second bike unmodified. 11.3 is about right for one with a different clutch, pipes and other goodies. Google V Rod 1/4 mile times and you'll see same results. 10 seconds is smoke blowing.

Nice bike either way.

No, but it does have the RMS.
