I doubt that…

Hard to know and tell relative velocities...

I know the F1 cars are killing a ton of power on the wings and if you watch F1, you will see the cars take LONGER to get through the first six gears with 850HP in a 1400LB car.

Comment: watch F1 next chance – especially at a high speed circuit like Monza -- and listen to the full power flat line acceleration times in the gears and then listen to the engine revs "sit" as they pull up to 200-210 MPH (there is a lot of power being sucked-up by the wings).

It all depends on the aero drag -- not the power-to-weight. It's got a better the power-to-weight of a F1/CART vehicle...


It's very fast in any event...

So you want to drive 55?


Why take the world's fastest production motorcycle and make it go even faster? Because that's what it's about, says Mr Turbo's Terry Kizer. Not only is it the world's fastest... it's also the most powerful right out of the box, and by adding Mr Turbo's system - it reaches horsepower figures never seen by stock engines before!

Easily, you can achieve 250 horsepower with less than 10 lbs. of boost. The bike is already capable of running near 200 MPH, and can turn the quarter in 9 seconds, without any help, so can you imagine what it would do with an extra 100 or so horsepower on tap?

What you said is pretty much the opposite of what I'm talking about - his acceleration runs ARE fast and DO look fast. I'm talking about when he's off the gas and just coasting or cruising through traffic at... hell let me find the time... 3:30-3:55 - try to watch the speedo reading while you see how slowly he moves through traffic.

Yes, he gets down to 30MPH at the turn, and then moves through traffic. The car in front of him starts "playing" a bit; he hits 80 through traffic and I've seen about the same on 45 MPH LIMIT two- and three-lane roads.

If you checked the MPH variations around here, you would hesitate to guess actual speeds of the other vehicles – so it’s speculation.

From the 91-pump gas I wonder if he's in CA.

To me, it would be so totally pointless to bump a decade of MPH with a machine with 1:1 power-to-weight with rider.

I mentioned the power-to-weight being greater than a F1 car that tops out at 220 with a hideous amount of drag due to the down force from the wings. If you go to the page, you’ll see that 220 MPH is further down.

Opinions… All’s I know is that thing is a hoot!

THAT GUY IS NUTTIER THAN SQUIRREL TURDS .

filly

that's just crazy....

I really want a bike BTW. not to do that though...

And your SIG (with ALL CAPS) is going to be longer than a squirrel’s tail.
