vw151 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 It has to be one of the slowest accelerating vehicles on the planet but after about 5 miles it gets to 150mph. Pretty impressive really. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I loved my little 50cc Ducati pit bike. Put a 19mm carb on it, a different set of weights, a Malossi 70cc kit and ignition, and could out accelerate just about any car out of a light and top off at 67mph. Chicks dig small bikes.

redkow97 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 what's the point of a motorcycle with dismal acceleration?and I'm wondering how much money they have into that engine. It's not unimpressive, but I'm thinking a lightly massaged 600cc 4-stroke could do the same for a lot cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unimpressive, but I'm thinking a lightly massaged 600cc 4-stroke could do the same for a lot cheaper...land speed records are based on things like # of cylinders and engine size.

For the street you're right, but 150 on the street doesn't get you a land speed record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'd be thrilled if the SV1k would do 150.Sadly, the 50cc two stroke would start to pull on it around mile 4.75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
