I don’t recall when I read this, but some time back one of the bike mags noted that a ZX-10 could accelerate from 0 to 100 mph and the brake back to 0 in something like 14 seconds. That’s 0-100-0 in under 15 seconds. The 0 to 100 time was a hair over 5 seconds. A BMW S1000RR’s 0 to 180mph time is 16 seconds flat. It would be significantly quicker except for insisting on wheelieing at 140.
That’s hair bending. And not really useable by mortal humans. But, nothing exceeds like excess.
