ever wondered how long it takes different bikes to get up to 100kph?
check this out,
these guys do a few other videos under same name

[hazard02]

Very cool :niceone:
6.5 seconds from the FZR 250 was pretty impressive.
I'll have to test the FXR sometime...

[Jonny Rotten]

if only i had another 750 cc in my lil vtr

[Edbear]

Makes me wanna go fer a ride....

Hope ya got a clock that goes into minutes. :laugh:

[Waylander]

Someone let me know if they do one for a VMax.

[vtec]

I've got a vid of the CBR250RR doing about 5.0 seconds 0-100, I would have thought FZR250 would be quicker than 6.5. My Prelude does 6.5 seconds... I'm sure I do 5.0 on the CBR.

[SimJen]

most of the better bike mags have specs, 0-60mph, 70mph-0, 1/4 mile etc.
Try http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_performance_numbers/ for lots of performance figures...

[Grantasaurus]

I think a ZZR would be something like 7 seconds..... Sigh.

It feels faster than that though.

[Mr. Peanut]

The NSR is somewhere around 3.5.

That VTR can HAUL! :yes:

Wonder what an sv1000 would be like :shit:

[marty]

it's 100 to 200 numbers that impress most of us.

busa is 0-100 in 2.6. 3.0 if you fuck up the launch.

[Mr. Peanut]

Got Hill? :done:

[Jamezo]

Really? That's just wank. Any loser can pin the throttle on an already moving bike; getting the best time out of a smaller bike takes a bit more skill.

[Mr. Peanut]

No it doesn't :) Pin on redline, dump clutch, clutchless shift at redline.

[Whynot]

it's 100 to 200 numbers that impress most of us.

how about never ..... ?
:innocent:

[Coyote]

I finally got over the whole worry of breaking the gearbox and tried clutchless shifting. It's very satisfying. Still not as quick as the CBR was getting to 100

[Waylander]

it's 100 to 200 numbers that impress most of us.
Hmm, think I'll try that one next then.

[Waylander]

THink I read somewhere that clutchless shifting when going up was actually better for the engine than useing the clutch. So long as you do it right.

[Mr. Peanut]

how about never ..... ?
:innocent:

With a bit of HP (Hill Power) anything is possible :yes:

Yeah gpz 900 3.4 seconds!

[_intense_]

forget teh FZR im keen to launch all teh 250s 4cys and c which one is quickest ;D what an epic battle. nice spotting dude

[McJim]

Hmmm - if I was worried about acceleration stats I wouldn't have bought the VTR 250.....

[RantyDave]

That VTR can HAUL!
Yeah, the VTR did the whole lot without changing gear. I think. But, yeah, got there in a big hurry eh? Horray for torque.

yes yes yes,,gotta organise a 250cc drag,,itll be in the name of science and finally shut everyone up bout whos 250 is faster :second: :third:

[Waylander]

Nah cause then they will start saying things like, "Oh but the rider of tha tbike was more experianced and better at starts" and shit.

[Mr. Peanut]

You'd lose though. So why bother?

[skidMark]

Someone let me know if they do one for a VMax.

anybody see that pig...oh it's sitting on the v max ...not flying

[lukelin250]

You'd lose though. So why bother?
cause ur two smoker will probly brake down before the finish line and i would win. slow and steady wins the race,just like sex :rockon:

[Dai]

Never did try my ZZR1100 for the 0-70 mph time when in the UK, I did often take it to the dragstrip at Santa Pod.

1/4 mile best was 10.5 seconds at 135mph (240 kph approx in 450 meters)
Not good with metric system yet

Usually ran about 10,7 seconds.

This was a standard bike except for new carbs, dynojetting, new exhausts, lighter wheels and a fair bit of plastic removed at the track.

Rode the bike to and from the track from Cardiff so heaven help me if I had of totalled or blown it.

Been thinking of doing up one of those small 49cc pod bikes and trying it on the 1/4 mile if allowed. Anyone done this yet?

Should be good for a laugh or two.

[Coyote]

THink I read somewhere that clutchless shifting when going up was actually better for the engine than useing the clutch. So long as you do it right.
I did feel smoother, so long as you quickly hit the gas straight after. Otherwise it felt like it was snatching

[DMNTD]

That VTR can HAUL! :yes:
Wonder what an sv1000 would be like :shit:
I shall tell you in the next couple of days....how's that?
Oh and if I can sort my shit out I'll get it on vid

LOL...I got a Magic mate. Keen as on a 50cc drag/walk as long as there's no hurry! :zzzz:

[Damon]

Woohoo! my bike is finaly fast at something, Go Honda! :scooter: :laugh:

[Forest]

No it doesn't :) Pin on redline, dump clutch, clutchless shift at redline.

Why would you change gear at the redline?

If maximum acceleration is the goal, wouldn't it make more sense to change gear shortly after you've gone past the engine's maximum torque point?

[Jamezo]

Not necessarily, especially on a peaky bike like an NSR, where the power in the over-run range (which is small anyway) is higher than that the power in the range that you'd be in when you shifted up.

[R6_kid]

ZXR250A < CBR250RR (MC22) < ZXR250C

that was on a ride with my mates, though i am about 15-20kg heavier than them.

That was full throttle from 100kmh to max speed on a straight (private road :innocent: )

Not seen ZXR250C vs CBR250RR in a 400m drag, but from the comparison of Texmo and vtec in streetstock racing the CBR is a tad faster, but that is most likely due to vtec's 25kg weight advantage.

That late model FZR250RR (not sure on year or model designation but im thinking its 1993) is apparently the most powerful 250, but there arent many in NZ, was supposedly out to 48-50hp at crank, but that may just be a load of ass, i've never seen one though so i wouldnt know.

[marty]

fuck off. fzr....pffft. my rs250 was dyno @ 67rwhp. that's with a tyga exhaust and modifying the heads to take the plug vertical instead of angled (for streetuse). running 98. i think stock they are about 62

One of the other vids by those dudes on YouTube had a 250 doing 0-100 with an 80kg rider and again with a 50kg rider.

50kg: 8 secs
80kg: 9.6 secs

Take from that what you will.

[Waylander]

Yea or if you have to engine brake soon after it get's kinda clunky.

[crazefox]

Ha ha i like it

good point,on sucha light bike with not the most torque or horse,rider weight does go a long way in speed variation, im fairly light and my mate is close to 100kg but on a faster bike,id say id probably win a 0-100km

[lukelin250]

Never did try my ZZR1100 for the 0-70 mph time when in the UK, I did often take it to the dragstrip at Santa Pod.


wow shit santa pod? dude i didnt know that drag strip was still around,my old man used to drag race there back in the 70's and won a few titles,he had a yellow mach 1 mustang was pretty nice for a cage!! santa pod thatd bring back some memories for him lol

[Mr. Peanut]

Why would you change gear at the redline?

If maximum acceleration is the goal, wouldn't it make more sense to change gear shortly after you've gone past the engine's maximum torque point?

No. In fact its often faster to shift after the maximum power point. It depends on the gearing and the engine. It's all about torque at the wheels.

[Mr. Peanut]

Not necessarily, especially on a peaky bike like an NSR, where the power in the over-run range (which is small anyway) is higher than that the power in the range that you'd be in when you shifted up.

NSRs are not peaky. Almost linear power delivery.

[lukelin250]

ill trust what you say since you own one but linear power on a 2stroke?? isnt it all about having a powerband?

[Mr. Peanut]

Yes, this is were the advent of powervalves come in, they restrict exhaust flow at lower RPM giving you more torque; essentially emulating a smaller exhaust port.

The NSR has an exceptionally good system, hence a virtually linear power delivery.

[lukelin250]

ok,i rode my mates nsr n it definetly hada kick point with nothing down low almost,,similer to the 4 cylinder but more powerfull

[Mr. Peanut]

The powervalves probably weren't working.

[Forest]

No. In fact its often faster to shift after the maximum power point. It depends on the gearing and the engine. It's all about torque at the wheels.

That's what I thought. The optimum shift point would depend on the engine and transmission.

I'm just used to riding touring bikes (which accelerate fastest when you short-shift - since the peak power & torque occurs well before the red-line).

That would be why my RG is so much slower than the CBR. I've gained a fair bit of weight (all from muscle...) since I had the CBR. I remember in streetstock the RGs would be quicker off the line, although I'd catch up pretty quick

[-JC & Eleanor-]

The powervalves probably weren't working.

hey dude, from riding lukes bikes cbr rr, to mine there definatly very different bikes to ride!! 2 strokes never like low down sht laging the engine up :(

althought i did get a loan bike when the shop tuned up my bike :) a Suzuki Bandit... well where do i start... i just wont no disrespect to bandit riders though there a fairly nice bike :)

Love my NSR to bits though! she tuned up are fires liks a farken chicken on speed :)

take care riders,

jc

[texmo]

I'm sure I do 5.0 on the CBR.

the way you launch it im sure you would.

[Rocketscott]

The FXR does it in 9 secs.

[lukelin250]

ouch :scooter:

[Wenier]

the gixer is meant to be around 3.3secs. Anymore and ya get to be ridden instead, and as far as i had seen the 1000s were the same time due to not being able to do any better without the bike flipping

[Pathos]

The FXR does it in 9 secs.

4 of them going from 80 to 100 :scooter:
