Re: My Capt K-Y comment is how I know.

Not to open this can of worms again, but I never contested that cruisers would beat sportbikes 0-60, only in 60-0 and roll-ons from town speeds.

One other thing, it flat out amazes me that a GSX-R1000 is only .2 seconds faster 0-60 than a 1992 Harley FXR. Talk about 2 opposite ends of the spectrum.

Re: As sarNellie would say

Why? You contested that sportbikes are safer than cruisers because they have better brakes and can also accelerate out of trouble easier. I disagreed with you, demonstrating that sportbikes in fact do not brake better, and also will not help you accelerate out of trouble easier. The only situation I could think of where acceleration would help you avoid an accident would be when you are already rolling along at speed in town and you need a quick spurt to avoid a car, which is exactly the criteria I described above. Seeing how you have yet to describe a situation where you would need to accelerate from 0-60 to avoid a collision with an automobile, it is in fact YOU who are splitting hairs.

Ah, I see.
