Okay, one more time.

I only posted the 6th gear, 60-80 numbers because they're published and therefore more than just me blowing smoke.

I never said the bike won't accelerate faster in a lower gear.
I never said that a 6th gear roll-on is a realistic scenario on the road.

Okay?

I still think it's unrealistic to get 40 mph of acceleration (40-80) in two seconds but as clearly stated, that's just a gut feeling. Please prove me wrong instead of just saying "gee, my bike will do that." Are you sure? Plunk a go-pro on your tank, point it at your speedo and do some roll-ons.

Okay?

Back to the 250 conversation, please.
