........But when its light as a feather and has a short wheelbase so its trying to do backflips instead of 0 - 60,its more exciting.

What's really exciting is when you hit the NČO button and you then realise (at the point of no return) that the controller has got itself stuck and laid on all 50 horses at once, instead of bringing it on over the preset time

..........on a specially built lightened/tuned etc,bike.Afaik litre sports bike have a 0-60 time of around 3 seconds,even with TC.I cant see a bog standard Beemer (very heavy,not much power) doing it in  3.5

See it now?

Yes Tunnie I see it,but I dont believe it.
Keeping the front wheel down - lean over the front of the bike - seemples.
Lots of effortless torque,overtaking without  having to keep stamping down through the box etc. Any 1000 V-twin from Aprillia or Ducati will do it so much better and probably do a gebuine 0-60 in 3 secs.

None of the Aprilia's do it for me, and i cannot stand the sound of Ducati's, i think they sound shite! Those really annoying dry clutches which make that horrid noise at idle.

Yep   Lovely sound on the move, but sound like a set of spanners in a tumble drier at idle.
