0 - 60mph times
 

Anyone know what the sv650 0-60 time is? Either the curvy or the pointy I can't imagine they are that different.

Trying to settle a debate here at work that for the money the SV is as quick as some very expensive cars (these cage drivers!)

I mean stock times too.

Data for the curvy:

Take a look at the org's home page, FAQ's and How To's.

3.2 0-60mph, not bad. Very short gearing on it low down though.

11.8 1/4 mile. Well i've watched that video of the guy in the USA doing a 12.3 @ 103mph so thats my target on our visit to Santa Pod on the 13th May.

Post is in Rideouts for those interested. Come on, take on the challange :wink: 8)

Re: 0 - 60mph times
 

Yep, you have to go to really highly tuned stuff to beat it 0-60.
The extra horsepower shows up on the 1/4 mile times though.

3.2???

Christ on a stick that's quick.

I mean that's up there with Ferrari F430 and V8 Vanquish times.

My word. Bikes rule!!!

Aerial Atom is repotedly under 3 secs, at about £30k'ish, lot of 4 wheel speed for the money.

.

Yes the one on Top Gear (300bhp job) was actually 40kish and whilst claimed to do sub 3 to 60 it appeared to get wasted off the line by a lardy CBR600...

I think you're right; that's the supecharged one, the standard Honda powered unit is about 3.2 0-60, and about £30k.

.

I'd test it myself (SV650) but I've got nowhere to stick the G-Tech

I've just checked this site for all manner of car 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times too. I'm rather pleased with my sub £5k bike can outperform a car worth almost a million squid.

2006 Bugatti Veyron 2.3 10.8 (This should beat everything though! 1000+bhp)
1992 Ferrari F40 3.8 11.8
2002 Lamborghini Murcielago 3.6 12.0
1997 McLaren F1 3.9 11.7
