I have ZZR1400 and it'll do it in 2.5, I think the Hayabusa has been quoted as 2.47 but with a lower top speed than the ZZR.

Since aquiring the ZZR I troll the intarweb looking to start pissing matches

Don't have to look far though

0 --> 100km/h in 1 second

I didn't forget about that.

Lets just say the fastest production street legal car , that comes in LHD, with cream interior and metallic ocean blue.

You seem to have the sense of Humour akin to Sarah Silverman. Good luck with that.

My car can do 0-60mph in 4.8sec.
My Harley Davidson would destroy it off the line.

Oh and KamiKazi, remind all the children in this silly pissing contest of a thread what bike you have. Sorry, whats that, I couldn't hear you the first time. :pac:

I don't have a bike yet, which is why I'm not partaking in this 'pissing contest'.

Well, I got into an argument with a cage driver once. We ended up standing toe to toe yelling at each other.
After a few moments, he got back in his car, put it in gear, and then rammed into me with it as I went to get back on my bike. I was knocked to the ground and pushed a few meters away.
Every time I tried to get up, he ran into me again. Eventually I was able to dodge him and I landed on the ground just beside the driver side door. He began to rapidly open/close the door, smashing me in the head with it several times and breaking my nose.

So yeah, I've been beaten up with a car.

Never beaten by a car. It's funny watching knackermobile drivers revving their jap imports and going nowhere. Any decent bike (600cc up)will leave them in their dust.

Biker.ie

Some unscientific research conducted in the far flung depths of a demented mind suggests there isn't much between a fast BMW saloon car and a fast 1000cc sportsbike from around 100 - 170mph, obviously anything below that and the lighter bike is much quicker but above 130 the lower torque really struggles against an aerodynamic brick wall.

Would have my doubts about that ZZR1400 (manuf. times?) 0-60mph in the real world, reckon a litre sportsbike would munch it to 60 or 70 at least until then the more cumbersome kwack gets going, can't beat them after that - same with a Busa although in my experience (5clicks short of 200mph) speedometers seems to be spinning wildly optimistic on the hyper bikes so you'd really need an aldi sat nav,. prob welded to the frame, in order to conduct a proper experiment.

The ZZR1400 (2008 onwards) doesn't need to get going to be honest. From the get go it takes off like a scalded cat.

I put mine up against a new Fireblade and it couldn't keep up from the lights.

sutty

Mine says "Ducati" and has loud cans and a noisy clutch.... people dont try race me.


You want a fast 0-60... get a Vtwin

True, Ducati certainly have the sounds and looks nailed. Something the Japs are way behind with.

The accelleration of the bike is irrelevant if the rider is not anticipating the green light. I regularly beat riders off the line... and I drive a diesel!

I am also a biker, so I'm not all bad!

Idleater

I (once) beat an m5 off the lights on my Enfield.

I was quite pleased with that, albeit that I was sort of looking at the lights and I he only really had to start trying after he realised that I was actually accelerating away from him.

I agree with sutty though, I like parking the sv between the civic and galanza that are revving each other at the top of the lights...

Ariel Atom 500.
0-60mph in less than 2.5secs...

Though it is considered as an alternative to a motorbike.

Sorry for the buzz kill.... :pac:

Unless you're saying there is an Ariel Atom driving around somewhere in Ireland regularly beating bikers off traffic lights, particularly yourself, then I don't think there has been any buzz killed on this thread...

I'm asking about real world situations.
The closest I ever had was a Subaru WRX which ran me very close on a Bandit 600, it was ludicrously quick. I've never seen anything like it since, it almost flew, and the way it was going gave the impression it weighed less than the bike! (though being a Bandit, I guess there's a chance that it did )

macnab

My car can do 0-60mph in 5 seconds, I cant remember the last time I had a bike that slow:D oh no wait...my old BMW F650GS did it in 6.5 seconds.

navigatoroneill

totally hypocritical but i love it when I havn't indicated that i'm looking for a race, not even looked at the other guy, and he tears off, i'd invaribly catch up nice and leisurely at the next junction and look over at him (always a him) and, wearing the black visor, just tilt my head quizzically at him. The look of embarrassment is priceless. Then.... that's you burn him! HaHaHaHaHa!

HashSlinging

Had a great race in mondello :pac: between myself and the bro on his Yamaha 1200 I'm in a SEAT 2.0 TDi. His top speed is about 130mph same as mine, I could match him through the gears up to about 110.

Hmm thought they would be
Quicker to be honest. Not taking anything from your bro but he must not be riding her hard if you can match him to 110.

HashSlinging

Well thats the power band in the Diesel, huge amount of torque up to about 110 then dies off, it was a rolling road start also so advantage to me. If it was a stationary from zero (i.e. from the lights) he would have smoked me.

seanybiker

ah right that explains a lot lol.

New skyline gtr35 does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, thank christ all the boy racers cant afford one!!
