Braking distance - reference ? video ? pictures ? tutorials ?

[ohgood]

I was replying to another thread, on another forum today, and trying to make a point about braking being a far better yardstick for measuring a motorcycle's performance than acceleration. It was quickly realized that very few references are found for braking performance of models. Sure, 0-60, 0-100, and top end are plastered all over, but I don't see 100-0 or 60-0 anywhere.

Anyone have a nice reference or magazine that actually shows real world numbers of motorbikes stopping distances ?

thanks

MCN includes 60-0 mph braking test on their bike test data sheets.  You can find these figures in their Perfprmance Index list of data from all their tests.

I included them on my road test lists for GS/EX500 bikes where available:
