At the track it would be really hard to know your actual 1/4 speed taking into account the error and your "trap" speed shown is the average speed over the last 60 feet of track. So at the point of tripping the lights your speed, wrong speedo or not, will always be different than the speed on your timeslip.

 

What? I don't believe that at all. Hell, the '07 600rr listed is slower than the F4i but has more power and is lighter? lol Complete BS to me.

 

look it all up it lists f4is running high 10s on alot of different sights.

I hope 'GSU' in your name isn't a college, and if it is I hope you're not an engineering student. Besides, there isn't a single '07 model listed on that page.

 

Well, I hope you're not an analyst because you clearly didn't read your own article.

Look at the 3rd and 4th bikes from the bottom.

 

Going down hill has nothing to do with a set gear ratio and rpm. The bike redlines at 14,000. 14,000 rpm means a set speed per gear your in.


There are so many things that can affect a 1/4mile time. Its like a dyno, you can only really compare the numbers from the same place, time, temp, humidity, rider, track prep, wind and elevation. Changing any one of those will affect your times. A F4i at sea level will beat a 08 600RR at 10,000ft no problem.

 

I'll agree with that. All I'm saying is don't believe everything you read in a magazine.

 

If you have a gps on your bike, it will give you actual speed. 7 - 10% off your clock reading (if all gearing, sprocket and wheels are stock).

 

Thats the same exact set up on my bike. To jump off topic here for a second. What map are you running on your pc III
