Don't know if any of you have seen this, more about torque vs power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VjYLTS2xOM&list=PLAN3F-xLJrHGw_tTDUmG8UNynRDTkdWYz

That's a very good video Numbskull.  I can just see Grog doing that to an R1 at the lights.

They did something similar with the R1 and the 955 Speed Triple through the traffic light grand prix, the R1 boys were not happy.

Col, while back i tried the fast start from lights against a Boulevard. Found out later it had a huge Turbo bolted to it. Now that was what i call acceleration, thought i was on a Honda 50. Best ive seen.

Depends who's riding, the 1/4 mile time of 11.8 sec listed is slower than the 11.6 sec I have done at Kwinana Dragstrip.

It's an interesting watch but he is claiming standard power output with an aftermarket exhaust. I don't think that would be accurate and would fix the Suzuki's problem of breathing past the 7500rpm mark.
Amateur Drag Racer I am too, I would suggest they drop down further on the tank for their launch. Racing my friend on his GSX1400 with yoshi pipe and PC3 I always beat him off the line but my Standard pipe would see him tear past at the 200 metre mark. He sat a bit too high as well but I didn't say anything because it was the only chance I had. 😆

For the 80s  - 10 seconds was more often the time it takes to stop...

Why slow down. I just love passing modern bikes on an old girl.

[Irish in Oz]

This is the best one to pass them on.

They are still reasonably priced, mine is an A1 (first model) not the best for Australia as they are known to run hot with ambient temp being high compared to say UK. I have done some mods to mine to kick in cooling fan earlier. I would recommend the later models but I like to have first editions.
