0 to 100Km/h times

[Boob Johnson]

What's ya bike do 0 to 100?

[sunhuntin]

bout 20 seconds or so, lmfao. [or, from the stop sign to the beginning of the cobham bridge... depends how fast the car behind me is coming up!]

:third:

[White trash]

About as long as it takes my left foot to get from the ground to the peg to snatch second gear.

[NighthawkNZ]

as fast or as slow as I can be bothered doing in it...

[boomer]

About as long as it takes my left foot to get from the ground to the peg to snatch second gear.

Have you topped it out in first yet? goes over 160 with stock gearing apparently :whistle:

oh and the time for 0 to 100 is about..... meeeeeh

long way to go before meh meh foooookin neeeeeeeeeow

[riffer]

3.1 seconds according to Suzuki and top speed of 270km/hr.

Must try that one day... :cool:

[Edbear]

Mine goes to 340 the instant I sit on it!:yes:


(Or are you meaning speed...?:wacko:)

[Swoop]

My old Healing 10-speed did it in 3.7 secs.

It was from the top of a cliff though. (nobody said anything about it having to be horizontal speed)

[jtzzr]

Somewhere between 2secs and "FARK" :drool:

[Toaster]

No idea, but geez it goes!

[Hitcher]

Quicker than can a Falcon XR8 GT-P.

[Brett]

2 or 3 days depending on whether I run it on 96 or 98...or somewhere in the vicinity or 2.9 - 3.0 seconds if someone else is riding.

[deanohit]

As quick as it takes me to give it the wellies, slip the clutch and hold the front down. Something like 2 to 5 minutes I think.

[Blairos]

I dont like the front wheel leaving Earth too much on the Band-Art, but it sure can go when prompted! :ride:

[nudemetalz]

Umm,...never timed the Guzzi but then again I wouldn't have bought a slower bike than I used to have if I was that interested.

[Oldfulla]

I have no idea, but would like to know and cant seem to find the info off the net anywhere. Anyone know what a 2005 ZX6 can do it in?

.....And I'm not about to go out and try it myself, knowing my luck I'd either crash in the process, or get nailed by a cop for being an idiot.

Cheers

[hazard02]

Maybe 13 seconds? Depends if there is a slight gradient or gentle breeze though.

[Jantar]

If the time is important then its just too damn slow. :innocent:

[Timber020]

100 is to close to breaking the speed limit so I havent gone that fast.

[nadroj]

The closer the wrist the faster you go.:tugger:

[kiwifruit]

Quicker than can a Falcon XR8 GT-P.

I should jolly well hope so!

[marioc]

about 8 seconds I think

[cowboyz]

I have wondered before but by the time I wonder I am already past that. Quicker than it takes to look at the dicky birds

[hospitalfood]

about 4 days with all the fuckin rain in auckland

Sorry thats just the 1000cc, they possibley have the 600's somewhere there too but couldn't find them just now, thats 60 mph too, so add a smidgen to get 100km (62.5mph), these times were done with a VBOX, anyone know if that uses GPS or accelerometor? Also they note times are adjusted for altitude and temperature.

I saw in a NZ car magazine where they have a bike section "AUTOCAR" or something I think, they reviewed a ZX14, and strapped a VBOX on it, and did something like 0-100 = 4.5s!! thats sounds a bit slow!!, but maybe this a more accurate reflection of what your "average" rider can do?

[idleidolidyll]

i dunno, mines not geared standard, has airbox mods and open mufflers etc.

to be honest, i doubt i could get what manufacturers claim anyway, keeping the wheel on the ground in the first few gears would pose real problems and also; i'm almost 100kg (manufacturers times are usually made by 50kg midgets or simply calculated on a computer)

an R1 is supposed to do it in 2.8 seconds. Most people I know would flip their R1's if they tried that hard.............

Mind you, I always laugh when they gush over the 0-100 times on Top Gear for tin tops.
The latest Ferrari/Lambo/Porche etc does 0-100 in 4 seconds!!! YAAWWWWNNNN!!!!!

And they even struggle to get those times. Jeremy Clarkson took the Porsce 911 turbo to 100 in 6 secs, supposed to be able to do it in under 4 secs. His excuse, he couldn't balance clutch slip against boost against traction.:lol:

[Crisis management]

Probably about 10 minutes; allowing for the usual wobbling, cat avoidance, traffic dodging and underwear changing involved.......and thats just getting me to the bike!


If you have to measure it is it really all that important?

yeah, much harder on a bike where their is a real danger of doing a backward sommersault. Almost any fool can get close to the best a car can do.

the really funny bit is that an R1 costs $20k while to get the same out of a tin top you have to be a squintillionaire. Plus, even when you DO manage to buy one of those cars, you can't really get much out of it on the road because you wait for ages to get past the little old lady doing 80kph along highway 2

My bike is my Ferrari and a far better option IMO

God look at what my bike is then, the look on some kids face in some lancer (that he thinks is an evo) when I blow past from the lights on a black dirt bike is pricless up to 100kays though coz it runs out of breath then.:scooter:

Definetly, and even with cars, you often read in the magazines they spend a few hours fine tuning their launching to get "that time" often not close to the claimed time anyway.

Then you've got all the vairiables, clutch wear/heat, tires, road conditions and air conditions, fuel type (possibley not as good as what it should be) all could affect the time by possibley 50% or more....

So there is the "theoretical best time" given perfect conditions, then theres the "theoritcal best" given the conditions YOU have, then how well you can launch it, and you start to get alot slower than what manufactures claim.

Great for magazines to use to compare them though... gets stuck in peoples heads and i suspect people buy cars based on it, possibley not bikes, really something thats not important at all day to day, apart from bragging rights off course!!!

yep, hilarious aint it!

no matter how fast a car is, chances are they are always gonna be held up by the little old lady in the Morris Minor hunched over the steering wheel as even the cheapest of bikes with 20HP cruise past both

[bladez]

ppl say mine gets there quick as they can hear a sonic boom but then they see me walking back and picking up the bloody pistons again so my time 1min or so :argh:

[Out-law]

100 to 0km/hr is more important :)

Ninja till 100 will do in 3.2-3.5 seconds and 1/4 mile in 9.8
Gixxer will do 100 in 7seconds i quess, and 1/4 mile in 15.75 :D

[90s]

On paper a very respectable 4.5 secs, but important thing as said here is that can show clean pair of heals to pretty much any car on the roads without effort as such. Do 0-100kph entering motorway from lights and with fair acceleration not caning it but enough to leave cars 100m+ behind think am usually doing it in about 6 or 7 secs or so.

More important and where lack of superbike-style power really shows is middle gears in-gear acceleration. Hot cars pick back up on me then without more of a conscious effort to drop them.

[Hitcher]

100 to 0kmh is more important

Particularly when both the rider and their steed are unscathed.

[SPman]

Whoops...........:innocent:

Most times quoted are test results, not manufacturers figures.Test results by people who are very good at drag racing, normally.
The only cars I wouldn't take on......Porsche GT3....or a well driven modded Skyline etc.
Dragging Black Yoshis GTR up Kaukop way on the 1000, it was pretty level pegging through the gears until around 11,000, when I could start to haul him in. 0-2.....k, was a win for the bike, but not by that much..!

[EJK]

About 10-13 Seconds?
Why would I even tell people my 0-100 time? lol

Me: "Hey guys! I can go from 0 to 100 in 10 seconds!"
Friend: "O rly..."

:lol:

[Maha]

Mine doesn't go that fast.....!

[barty5]

depend on what im ridin on beach is a little slower can just end up digin a hole wet mud well wouldnt want to be behind me youll be slowin down with all the xtra weight youll be pickin up but really would have a clue no speedo but i would say it get there fairly quick

[PirateJafa]

up to 100kays though coz it runs out of breath then.:scooter:

100 is being a bit optimistic isn't it? ;)

Or is this downhill? :Pokey:

[diddie17]

The stats say 3.5 secs, but I'm pretty certain I don't get close to it.

On the subject of cars not to take on, I used to have a Caterham 7 (Lotus 7 replica) back in the UK. It would get close to staying with sports 600's to maybe 100mph. It didn't have the power to weight of the bike 190 BHP and 530 KGs but it had more traction off of the line and you didn't have to worry about keeping the front wheels on the ground. Hit the twisty bits though and it left the bikes behind :eek:

:pinch: Of course, it's down a long, long, loooonnnngggg steep hill. :lol:
