Got curious about the earlier Street 750 vs CBR500R comparison, and it turns out the bikes are quite evenly matched in straight line acceleration. The power to weight ratio (with the rider) is so close than it comes down to skill and reaction time.

0-60mph the Harley takes it, but by the end of the 1/4-mile the Honda is a c*** hair ahead. It's a case of a big 'torquier' engine having the initial advantage, then the 'revvier' and more aerodynamic bike inching ahead at the end.

Now, even before the first bend the Harley would fall behind. The [pre-production] brakes have been criticized and the 'cruiser' suspension geometry is no match for a proper street bike. Pretty impressive from Harley nonetheless.

Here is an interesting comparison (unrelated to the CBR) by Cycleworld:
