#4Try changing the gearing....16/40 turns it into a 0-60 missile...try keeping the front wheel down!!

#516 on the front does the job! 140 top end but great fun getting there!!! ZX, R1, Fireblades they are all the same(bar the graphics )...............sewing machine sounding sh*te.

#616 / 38 is good for 155MPH - however, if you find yourself at that speed, the GSXR1000 you've been chasing will now be doing 180 into the distance!

#7I'm guessing the good 0-60 (which is a pretty irrelevent stat for a bike) is a combination of decent linear low down power, and, against the fast bikes, a result of not having a overwhelming amount of BHP. It's easier to get off the line.
I often find the SD to be quicker out of slow corners than the IL4's. It's not because I have more torque - a GSXR has more, it's because the power delivery is "softer" and linear.
Above 120, aerodynamics come into play. Let's not dwell on those figures!

#8i would agree, 120+ the plastic sewing machines will outrun anything in a staight line . That is where the sd is a law on it's own 0-120 on twisty roads they'll eat your dust all day long unless your surname is Rossi! PS i don't endorse speeding of course as it aint big and it aint clever!

#15Never really understood this logic/approach. I love 'em both. different bikes make the world go 'round. Ride 'em all.
