Updated plans. My friend is moving to Folsom, CA and we are planning on riding the bike cross-country there. We want to go as cheap as possible and find free camping or couch surf. Tips or ideas?

The one thing about the CBR, the low-end just feels so good when you're in the city or in traffic.

Smooth and effortless.

Are you trying to say your decel rate was greater than 1g? Please show me the math that adds up to a 14.5 ft stopping distance from 41fps.

Hey, come on now, you are superman. You're back on your bike and enjoying life again!

As we can see though, that reaction time is very precious.

At a deceleration rate of 1g, you'd still need more than 14.5 feet to stop from 28MPH. 1.3 seconds though. 41.076 FPS / 32FPSPS is around 1.3 seconds w/o reaction time. That's assuming 1g decel...

Pretty sure a 0.9 stop time is impossible from 28mph. Unless your deceleration rate was 1.4g.

What did Mythbusters test?

It was styled after the VFR1200. It's ok with me. I'm not a huge fan but I don't really care. The headlight does a great job. That's good enough for me.:)
