A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
The Woodburn Dragstrip is a quarter-mile NHRA dragstrip located in Woodburn, Oregon. [1] Woodburn Dragstrip opened in June 1961 as an ⅛-mile dragstrip operated by the Multnomah Hot Rod Council and the Northwest Timing Association. In 1963, the track was lengthened to provide for 1/4-mile drag racing.
Although a quarter mile (1320 feet, 402 m) is the best known measure for a drag track, many tracks are eighth mile (201 m) tracks, and the premiere classes will run 1,000 foot (304.8 m) races. The race is begun from a standing start which allows three factors to affect the outcome of the race: reaction time, power/weight ratio, and traction.

Rollout or rollout allowance is an adjustment in timed acceleration runs used by North-American drag racing and enthusiast magazines [citation needed] to create approximate parity over time between historic 0 to 60 mph and 1/4 mile acceleration times and those measured today using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Bracket racing is a form of drag racing that allows for a handicap between predicted elapsed time of the two cars over a standard distance, typically within the three standard distances (1/8 mile, 1,000 foot, or 1/4 mile) of drag racing.
Santa Pod Raceway is Europe's first permanent drag racing venue for 1 ⁄ 4 mile (1,320 ft; 402 m) and 1 ⁄ 8 mile (660 ft; 201 m) racing. [1] Located in Podington, Bedfordshire, England, the drag strip was built on a disused Second World War Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase, known as RAF Podington; once used by the USAAF's 92nd Bomb Group.
