Nah it wasn't that fast unless it was in a corner battle. zx14r 2.5sec 0-100. KTM 3.5secs and the claimed 0-200 in 7.2 is more like 8sec plus even for a great rider. Personally I had difficulty believing it had 180hp but the factory must be correct.
What it did do very well was hold a line and accelerate out of a corner well. Bikes built for a different reason.
I cant understand why the SD has a gearbox so low geared in first that taking of in second is easier and a 5th and 6th gear that cant be used until your well over the speed limit. It was like having and 3 speed gearbox on the road. On the track your going to use 5th and 6th but you would be lucky to go lower than 3rd.
