performance spec for the k3 and above

does anyone know the performance spec e.g 0-60 etc or were i can find the spec for the k3 and above?

~4 seconds.

not as quick as a curvey one then
just out of interest for a curvey one
Figures are pretty thin on the ground at the moment (Nov '99) but these figures were published in May 1999 Cycle World :

1/4 mi. 11.85 sec. @ 110.17mph.

0-30 mph 1.34 sec.
0-60 mph 3.20 sec.
0-90 mph 6.79 sec.
0-100 mph 8.76 sec.

40-60 mph 3.27 sec.
60-80 mph 3.90 sec.

Measured top speed 128 mph

Hmmm. I've seen 0-60 times quoted in several places for the SV, all just under 4 seconds.

S'pose it doesn't really matter that much, since getting a perfect start from standstill every time isn't that easy imo, and once you've gotten into second it's a simple run though the gear box.

as a benchmark , in this weeks MCN - K5GSXR1000.

0-100mph - 5.63s. whoa

i think i remember reading the pointy naked doing 3.3 or something.

i swapped bikes with spiperman for a mile or so, and both of us agreed the pointy was the faster of the 2.
they were both nakeds.
