last season i even had a guy intentionally cut me off because his girl was miring my bike. he starts talking smack at a red light, i tell him to fly a kite..... and he then gets out wielding a tire iron. as much as i wanted to hurt him i drove off instead.
you're right i shouldn't take these idiots so personally, i just get upset because its my *** thats going to slide across pavement and hit a light post if **** goes south. i usually ride a bit aggressively until i'm in between traffic packs. of traffics light i'll stay in the left and cruise a bit over the limit/traffic.
I remember reading 0-60 times varying from 5.5-11 seconds. there isn't a solid number, and it has alot to do with launch, shifts, and driver skill/weight.
I weigh 230 lbs and had half a car length lead on a late model gt mustang off the line. it was during 3rd that he finally got a jump and blew past me(closed track)
mind you my bike is pretty much naked except for the front cowl and the matte black panels right under the gas tank and set. no fender. bike was broken in properly with full synthetic oil and filter changed at 100, 500 1000 3000, 5000, and at the beginning of this season at around 7000. valves clearances and carb sync on manufacturers recommended intervals
the bike is quick. to this day i don't understand why people bash the ninjette. i go on spirited rides with 600, 675s, 750 ss bikes and can match or beat them in the corners. the only thing it won't do is blow down a straight over 200kmh. i've dragged both foot pegs on the bike in turns at high speeds.
