My buddy has a K1200S...  He said it has so much torque at high RPMs that it nearly bucked him off...  And that's no little bike.

I'd take the zero to sixty Pepsi Challenge with the Mille and the ZX14.  2.8 seconds?  Meh.  I wonder how quick my bike gets to sixty.  I bet it is in that neighborhood.

Depends on your definition of "neighborhood", most literbikes run 3.0/3.2, the ZX14 is able to pull such low numbers because it weighs more and can keep the front end down.  Less wheel lift up front= faster acceleration.  The Mille is just a damn rocketship.

I am pretty sure my bike will do zero to sixty in under three seconds.

Both my bikes do 0-60 faster than most cars.   :thumb:  ...  That's all that really matters.

Not the Mustang SVT.  It's a bit faster than the GS in my experience.

Again...  It doesn't really matter which (few) cars are faster...  'cause the GS is faster than MOST cars...  And any half-way decent rider is faster than MOST drivers.


Motorcycles: 1
Cars: 0

Is this thread about slow bikes or fast cars? 

Did I miss something?

It's about bikes being better than cars.

Not really.   Maybe 120 tops.  Held it at 100 plus for a good five miles before.  That run through the first 3 gears is what I enjoy the most.

Getting to 100 is much more fun than going 100...  IMO.
