1/4 mile times?

The times are a bit of a lottery. All depends on the rider, weather. wind, temperature and so on. So two riders can have wildly different times on the same bike. Dani Pedrosa would do a great time...me not so good.

Read that a stock ZX-12 got under ten seconds...cor that is fast!

perhaps they've stopped using pound sterling because having to multiply it by such a huge number as "2" to get the equivalent in dollars was getting tough for ol' dubya to get his head round?

as for independence, didn't john cleese do something about that recently?

0.60 3.6
0-80 5.8
0-100 9.00
0-110 12.00
0-120 22.00
12.20 113mph

SV650's would be quicker then the vast majority of cars on the road from 0-60mph or 0-100mph but from 100mph and above an SV650 would get stuffed by a sportscar if side by side.

I can personally vouch that a fairly standard SVS is quicker than a Ferrari
355 Spyder.

But where are you likely to need that? On one of those motor'yawn'ways, massively over the speeding limit?
Believe me, I realised yesterday that the SV is fast enough for me.
