So, whats your time?

[Sniper]

Hey Guys and Gals

I have just managed to get a hold of this months "Superbike" mag and found something really neat that I thought might be cool for a few people to learn.
The new BMW K1200R does a rather nifty 2.8sec 0-105km/hr time. Not bad for a naked me thinks.

But what about you? How long does it take you to get from 0-100km/hr? Surely this would be a prime time for those who have modified their bikes to exaggerate too. And compare the stats from a stock model.

It would be better to hear from your own experience than quote out of a book, but it doesnt really matter.

I do can get from 0-100 in 5.6secs

[N4CR]

All I can tell from audio recordings is that my bike takes around 3 seconds on an average launch to get to 75 (1st gear), making it fair to say around 5.0-5.3 for 100kmh with a clutchless upshift. I'm trying to borrow a video camera to find out around Ardmore when I have to go there :nono:

[inlinefour]

I have no idea.

[Brains]

Read somewhere that the CBR will do it in 2 seconds, around the same as the other current litre bikes, helps not having to change outta 1st gear to do it.

[XTC]

My bike doesn't accelerate - it slowly gathers momentum.... :yawn:

[Smorg]

Wouldnt have a clue what my baby does it in but it seems pretty damn fast for me

[k14]

On my rs it takes me about 2 mins atleast, including 3 bogging downs and alot of clutch riding, once it gets moving then its fine.

[Coyote]

The CBR may take 5 and a half seconds to reach 100, but damn it sounds good doing it :yes:

[Skunk]

The one for sale is 3.5secs, and it's naked...

The KLX I have no idea but not long,
The AX with me on it - not sure it will get to 100 :rofl:

[myvice]

100ks? Whats that? :innocent:

[Two Smoker]

RG150: about 6.5 seconds
ZXR400: about 4.5 seconds
GSX-R600: about 2.9 i think i read...

and a CBR1000RR doing it in 2 seconds flat??? Havnt seen that yet... i have seen 2.8 though:sherlock:

2 seconds is what I read, brit mag, performance bikes I think, all the litres are round there.

[riffer]

Yes, they may do it in less than 3 seconds, but could YOU or I do it?

In the real world, probably between 3 and 4 is more realistic.

[SuperDave]

I voted for 5 - 8 seconds but I'm really not sure how long it takes the FXR to get up to 100. Anyone got any idea?

[Hitcher]

Surprisingly, the ST1300 isn't as quick off the mark as a ZRX1200R...

[Virago]

Bike or car?

The Virago will do it in almost exactly 4 seconds, according to test reports (I've never tried it myself).

We have a Daewoo Lanos that will do it in slightly less than a fortnight.

[mstriumph]

the bike's is written up as under 3 secs ........... with me on her she'll be taking a little longer for a while [at least till i've had her longer than a week an a half ] :o

[onearmedbandit]

Tis funny, I picked up the new Fastbikes mag and there isn`t a single litre bike doing it in under 3 sec`s. If I had the mag with me in this internet cafe I`d post the figures, but 2 secs for a CBR1000RR, you`d need wheelie bars to keep the front down. And that`s the problem with getting any road bike below 3 secs, either traction difficulties or keeping it from looping itself.

[Monsterbishi]

My Mirage can trap 100 in about 4.2 seconds, haven't officially measured the YZF750R, but I'd imagine it'd be similar, possibly quicker due to the lack of gearchange.

Seriously, how would you time it accurately if you wanted do it yourself?
The only way I can think of is with a movie camera which also picks up the speedo or with the assistance of a friendly cop.

Various magazines put the Blackbird at between 2.8 and 2.4.

That said even magazine time can be different as it depends on the country/model, the year and if they are carb'd or injected and/or have smog gear and obviously the rider too.

A standard gillera runner does 0-100km/hr in 5.1 seconds :hitcher: Just though you might like to know that....

no way....more like 3.25-3.3

fastest 0-100 bike from the factory floor is latest gixxer thou and it does it in 2.8 sec's

[cowpoos]

RG150: about 6.5 seconds
ZXR400: about 4.5 seconds

gsxr600 3.7-3.8 sec's

:whocares: no we wouldn't :ar15: :scooter:

Nice use of smilies :)

[justsomeguy]

Too bloody long:argh:

[Magua]

Gn125, only went to 100 once, didn't time it.
Fzr250, hrmmm. :confused: maybe I'll find out in say two to three months.
Recently Cleaned carbs with new seals, so I would think rather fast!
But really, who knows? :blink:

It would be better to hear from your own experience than quote out of a book, but it doesnt really matter.

I do can get from 0-100 in 5.6secs

0-60mph (0-100km/h) = 4.1s
60ft = 2.13s
330ft = 5.4s
1/8mile (200m) = 8.15 @ 84.9mph
1000ft = 10.95s

Something went wrong with my timing computer, the 1/4m (400m) registered in @ 13.97s, these figures are heading to a 12s 1/4 mile. You can usually extrapolate the 1/4 mile by multiplying the 1/8 mile time by 1.5.

Too much vibration caused the timer to do funny things. I ended up with about 2 odd results and a whole lot of "failed to reach 30mph" readings from around 6 or 7 runs. It's much easier on the drag strip, but they can't tell you your 0-100 time.

1/4 mile is a better way of comparing performance anyway.

The Gixxer is supposed to be a <11s bike, but to launch those times consistenly requires some skill & practice.

[Toast]

So much variability in all those magazine tests...

except for the old atmospheric conditions, rider skills, etc....there's also the fact that some of them are done on a nice, sticky dragstrip, and others are done on coarse chip seal. Makes a fairly big difference I think. It's fair to say that most newer 600's will get to 100km/h in <4s if pushed though.

[LXS]

i've chosen the 0-100 in 5-8 seconds, pretty sure my gpx can/will do it.
can't say I've timed it, would be gd to get an actual time though, wouldn't it?

bah :beer:

[Skyryder]

Ty the reverse from 100 down to 0. That sorts the boys from the men.

yep thats about right....if you push it off a very very VERY high cliff with a tail wind....lol

seriously...the old twin pot is quite nippy to 100kmph...probally just under 6sec's
