redkow97 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Dragsters do 0-300 in the quarter mile in more like 5 seconds. F1 cars are indeed the fastest road course machines, but they are not king of acceleration.My guess is that a zx14 blows away that Duc as well, and a purpose-built drag bike would have easily kept pace with the F1 car for a fraction of the cost. THAT is always a bike's advantage. Cost to speed ratio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 No way an f1 car out-accelerates a top fuel dragster. Neither beat these crazy bastards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_car3.22 seconds at 396 mph Or this guy: http://www.nmspacemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.php?id=460-632mph in 5 s!

NinjaNick Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 F1 data is way off..Top fuel dragsters at high level NHRA like on ESPN do 1/4 in high 3's @ 300+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 The ZX14 and the Panigale in a drag race would be very close. I think the ZX would take it though, as much as that's hard to admit. You would need a pro driver to truly get the most out of either of them.Rickey Gadson rode the 2012 ZX to 9.47 sec @ 152.83 mph for Cycleworld.0-60@2.6 sec ; 0-100@4.8 secSteve Rapp rode the Panigale to 10.0 seconds flat at 144.9 mph for Motortrend 0-60@2.7 sec ; 0-100@5.1 sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Smokinzx14 on bikeland.org ran the 2012 zx14 at mid 8s....hes a nobody and way better than ricky gadson. Hes just in his 50s and not a pro. There is faster than ricky out there. Stock motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That's cool. I was looking for official tests and those where the easiest reputable numbers I could come up with. The ZX is a claimed 15hp more than the Duc also so I would have expected that. Ducati's have never really been known as a drag bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've been wondering about 0-60 times for bikes. 0 to 60 time for a Honda 919 is listed as incredibly fast, compared to other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 It should be noted that those 1/4 mile times aren't a 1/4 mile. Nhra top fuel runs 1000 ft IIRC. That being said, I want a v-10 18k rpm redline F1 car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadepenn Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Their brakes operating temp is 604 to 1832 degree farenheit. (300-1000c) Can stop from 124mph in 2.21 seconds, and 213 ft. Can go 0 to 100mph then back to 0 in less than 5 seconds. (wiki) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 1000cc or larger bike, there is no need for a 1-2 shift to hit 60, but taller gearing likely adds an unnecessary up-shift in the quarter mile. So you can (generally) have to compromise one stat to rule the other. You can taylor a competition to suit virtually any vehicle and Taylor virtually any vehicle to suit a given competition.

Re-geared for quarter mile, with a few other mods, a 919 can hit 1.6-1.8sec 0-60 times on a drag strip. Quarter mile times around 11.1- to 11.2 sec @120mph. Lots of torque. Stock gearing is about 2 seconds slower on 0-60. Edited June 10, 2012 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Magazine numbers (for cars and bikes alike) are always suspect to me. Many adjust for weather and track conditions to give a hypothetical best time, and they almost always run the bike in completely stock trim, don't do a burnout, and are on whatever tires came from the showroom floor. For that video in particular, I am 100% certain the F1 car had tire warmers mounted prior to that run. The bike may not have, and I doubt it would matter that much, but thats the kind of variable that makes you wonder. Plus the F1 car required a team of at least 5 guys to get down the track. Those cars are crazy complicated. One of my favorite episodes of top gear is Hammond trying to complete a single lap in an OLD F1 car. He had a rough time with the 2001(?) era technology. And they've only gotten faster and more digital in the last 11 or so years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
