[font=trebuchet ms]0 - 60 mph in 2.8 seconds was a published analysis of data taken at a drag strip by Cycle Canada when they reviewed the bike back in 1986. With my fat ass in the saddle, it wouldn't likely do that, even if my reflexes were up to the task. The top-end trial was something I did when I picked it up from the shop after the 5,000 km tuneup.

I think the dragstrip stuff calculates out to something over 1 G. I know I sometimes think I should cover the seat with Velcro. :eek: The bike has a long wheelbase by modern standards, so it's not very wheelie-prone, but it pulls hard![/font]
