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.
Otherwise, first electric vehicle to be considered for the position of the world's fastest street-legal production motorcycle, [37] [38] [39] to have won against ICE motorcycles in a professional road-based event and to have won any such race using only solar power. [40] Ducati Panigale R: 2013-2017 V-twin: 1,198 cc (73.1 cu in) 202 bhp (151 kW)
The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.
Motorcycle Consumer News tests of the 2004 model year YZF-R1S yielded a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 3.04 seconds and 0 to 100 mph (0 to 161 km/h) of 5.42 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 9.90 seconds at 144.98 mph (233.32 km/h), and a top speed of 189 mph (304 km/h). [1]
In their test of a 1971 Norton Dunstall 810, Cycle World measured the top speed at 201 km/h (125 mph), with a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a standing 0 to 1 ⁄ 4 mile (0.00 to 0.40 km) time of 11.9 seconds at 173.62 km/h (107.88 mph). [1] This was the first bike ever in Cycle World ' s tests with quarter mile time under 12 seconds. [1]
The Hayabusa has been used in sanctioned closed course road racing, [59] [60] drag racing, [61] and top speed competition. [62] Top speeds of over 270 [62] mph, engine outputs of over 700 [63] horsepower, and performances in the standing quarter mile as quick as 6.9 seconds and as fast as 209.14 [64]
Looking at what cars have the current top speed, best 0-60 and quarter mile times, and fastest Nurburgring lap times.
At the start of a race it takes between one and two seconds for the motorcycle to reach the "curve speed" (somewhat lower than the average), which is roughly estimated to be the equivalent of 2.5 to 3 seconds to reach 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) (or 0 to 60 mph). The start of the race is an important aspect of the race overall.
