0-60 times?

thepaintbox · 06-14-2009, 02:16 PM

I was wondering if anyone had measured their 0-60 or 10-60 times. I would like to get mine, but it's hard to do wile riding, and there aren't a lot of places that are flat and straight for me to do it around Pittsburgh.

You want it in seconds? Or minutes and seconds??

:haha: :facepalm: :haha:

0-60 feet is fairly quick.

I once got my GZ to go from 0-60 mph in about 9.5 seconds but I had to tie it down in the back of my pick up truck to do it!

Did you want that with or without a wheelie?

You want fries with that ? :popcorn:

No kidding, 0-60 is extremely variable - it may hit 60 and over whenever the road decides to slope down - or the headwind decides to drop away...

Old thread, but I just have a quick question:

Would a question about 0-40 speeds be as redicuolus? In other words, when does the acceleration become inelastic? You still win a stoplight race against a mum in minivan, right? Say yes, PLEASE!

Yes, these bikes have some juice. My Beast is deceiving and looks tame but has a great take off when necessary. Sometimes the person behind me is clowning and I need to get away. The Beast delivers each time. But this is not a sport bike. It's much more enjoyable and relaxing ride when you take your time so you can enjoy and appreciate the scenery. Ride Safe!

The first 3 gears are fairly peppy. After that your results may vary. As for mini vans, watch out, some are quick and fast and a whole lot bigger than a GZ. 0 to 60 times are really quite irrelevant with a GZ. It will do what it will do, nothing more. Don't sweat the small stuff.
