I own that bike. 1/4 mile in 10 seconds @ 145 mph. So that’s zero to 145 in ten seconds.

I’m still breaking it in.

Mine will do about the same, and supposedly will top out around 200, but I've only run it up to 150 several times and it will get there very quickly. I'm 53 and my playtime is now mostly 0 to 100. Click my screen name to see a pic.

I’ve got an 1100 Honda spirit that is pretty fast from a dead stop to about 70 (still in first gear). After that it’s done for...

Nice

Lots of folks here act like a 170 mph bike is a big deal

been around street legal since the Japs went 4 stroke big bore like Superbike Series in King Kenny’s day...79-80

the old KZ 1300 would likely hit 170

as would the old Honda CBX V-6

my 1980 GSR 1100-RS would blow by 170...Kunis, Yoshi, Nitrous etc

as would my 83 GPZ triple over bored to around 1264cc and with all the zoom zooms and wam wams like any cafe trick back then

she was a 9 second bike and top speed was pushing 190

old now...ride KTM 105 around my pasture..lol...my life policy precludes streetbikes...they know my surgeries

but we were hell in our day

these new bikes come out the box like that...and the suspension now is stuff we could only dream about

and I never saw anyone doing mile long wheelies on crowded freeway at 120 or so like you do now with these light front end trick bikes
