So now we just have a margin of error to consider also. Times are now + or - 0.5 seconds.
At 60 mph the bike is moving at a rate of 88 feet/second.

Maybe we could get a more accurate comparison just by chrono'ing a known distance in feet.

Google Earth allows to measure the distance of your test very accurately.

Being the great physics guy that you are choneofakind, you can calculate a standard distance at which your Ninjette has reached more or less 60 mph.

Less time covering that distance wins, and we can calculate mean hard numbers using the media acceleration obtained for each model.

Just an idea, of course.
