I think the best 1/4 mile time on a stock V65 was 10.65 by Pee Wee
Gleason. I'm not a fact magnet, but just read this on the Sabre/Magna
newsgroup.

Little brother bought one - came with some info - advertising
tested quarter miles anywhere from 10.7 to 11.0. The bike he
bought has 15 K on it, and personally, after owning an FJ -
I dont think there is any way that it can pull a 10.anything
quartermile. It loves to wheelie, though, - a very difficult
bike to launch...

Don't tell me that you have actually believed the rubbish that Bimota
spout. 180bhp furano, fastest bike in the world according to Bimota. Also
ran according to everyone else. SB6, fine handling superbike according to
Bimota, slightly lacking in what it takes according to everyone else.
Yes, you have a damned fine bike, which I am rather envious of, but it is
neither the fastest production bike, nor the best handling. Fastest goes
to the ZZR1100, best handling probably belongs to something like the
NSR250RRSE, with the japanese 400s following along closely behind. The
Bimota has a pretty nice set up, similar in dimensions to the ZXR400, but
the rear tyre size, which has to be wide to put down the power, obviously
unsettles the whole plot slightly.
I will try to fish out the test of it which was in fast Bikes last year.
It was tested by riders of up to GP standard, who knew what they were
talking about. I was thinking of getting one myself, but have decided
instead to get a Lister car, and stick with something a little more
conventional in the motorbiking world.

In the final analysis the differance is so small that it upto you to make the
choice.
I would however draw your attention to Bike, june 1994, where the SB6 was
rated as much (not a bit...) better than the rest, including the ZX.
The Suzi is probably a better bike in many eyes that the ZX before Bimoto gets
its hands on the mill.
Besides, you should see the crowd it draws on the seafront....

I've owned all three, V-65, V-Max & ZX-11 -- you're dreaming if you
think a V-Max can keep up with a ZX-11.

I may be wrong but, at the time of production I think it was somewhere in
the 10's. Also, I believe the fastest 1/4 was the VMAX until this year
when the ZX11 beat it. Before that, it was all Magna baby.

The ZX-11's best time was reported in 1990 as 10.24 seconds for the

Er, no. The V65 magna had the record for a few months, but the FZR1000 beat it the
first year it was out.
Never mind that a bigger factor was who did the piloting...

I had the pleasure of riding a Valkyrie and a '93 ZX-11 this weekend.
Those ZX-11's run pretty damn good. In fact, I may have to buy that sucker.
It only has 1,200 miles and is absolutely showroom condition - owned
by an 40+ year old guy - never even been wet. Dark red and gorgrous except
for that bogus Ninja decal. I'd rip that thing off of there. $6,500 is a
reasonable price, isn't it?
What's up with that 'C' & 'D' stuff? What's the difference? And why do
people bitch about the stock brakes? They seemed to work quite well.

Obviously, mine's a C model, but I certainly don't find it lacking for
touring or street riding. A red model is probably a D, since the
90-92 bikes had only one color scheme for each year and none were red.
I haven't messed with the brake system, it's always been easily
capable of locking up both wheels if the rider desires. A fellow I
know put steel lines on his and seems to like them.
I'd say the price is reasonable considering the condition of the bike.
Price a new one and you'll consider it a real bargain.

The first GSX-R1100 ('86) also did the 1/4 mile in about 10.65, which
is also probably .2 seconds quicker than the V65, also......

Four ZX-11's showed up at the drag strip a month or so ago. The quickest
was running 11.4 or so. It all depends on the rider.

There are significant differences however the most
obvious is the ram air snorkels. A "D" model like mine has
two inlets below the head light, while the "C" model only has
one.

I'm sure it did. I think that the Honda V-4 motors were out in '84. I think for 3
years they had a Magna, Interceptor, and Sabre in 500 and 750cc sizes if not the
1100cc size as well. The GPz750 Turbo took the king of 1/4 mile title for a couple of
months until the Magna beat it, I think. I don't have the magazines anymore, I threw
them out. I can look it up, it was in Cycle World or Motorcyclist, I believe. When
was the FZR1000 introduced?
It's all academic anyway. I want a Valkyrie and a matched pair of AiResearch
turbos... Who the hell needs to turn anyway? I'm sick of all this damn
countersteering crap. Makes bikes unstable. Give me a shaftie any day...

Probably keep the V65 for cruising with a passenger. Three bikes
seem a little excessive (and expensive) for me.

Cool, mine is that gorgeous candy apple red with dual scoops. A friend of
mine who just opened up a Kawasaki dealership told me that the 'D' model
has a slightly higher top speed than the 'C'.

What's wrong with pink? It's a healthy colour, it indicates health
and virility......would you prefer grey instead?

I must apologise Ye,the '91 ZX-11 wasn't black and 'dusty rose'.I
checked my back issues.
According to Aug '91 _CW_ your bike is 'ebony/luminescent rose opera'.
Rose,as we all know,is also known as pink.Pink!

But wait,it gets better.Jun '91 issue of _MC_ says the bike is
black/magenta.*Magenta*!

I saw the pics of the bleedin thing,Ye!Almost half the bike is

Uh, Gil? *My* bike is black and magenta; specifially, magenta

Not likely. The ZX-11 has been faster than the Vmax 1/4 mile and top speed
since the first year the ZX-11 came out (1990), NOT "this year". Since 1990,
subsequent models and revisions to the ZX-11 (C and D models) have not
significantly changed the 1/4 mile time (10.25-10.32 seconds) or top end
~175mph), yet the ZX has still been the fastest since it first came out
in 1990. Possibly it will be beaten for the first time by the new Honda
Blackbird (we'll see what production units look like).

I don't think so... The first year GSXR was on the same par as the 1986
1000 Ninja; i.e. around 11.10 second quarter mile (I'm aware of this because
I and a fried had the two bikes). I believe the Vmax and FZR were the first
to dip into the 10's verifiably.

Yeah, the first year GSX-R_750_ clocked about a 11.10 quarter mile,
the 1100 was in the mid 10's, check the back issues of Moturdcyclist
or Cycle Wad........

Well, the barley modified V-Max is also the first to dip into the 9's
verifiably too, it just depends on who's doing teh verifying..........

The Vmax was the quickest (ie. 1/4 mile, NOT top speed) bike on the planet
for one year, and one year only... it's first. ('85 model year in Canada)
The only record it still holds is 'top gear roll-on'. Travelling at 50mph
in top gear the rider cranks the throttle open. At the end of 200yard the
terminal speed is measured. The V-max hits 89.4MPH in 5th and 91.4 in
4th. You can compare this to the ZX11 which hits 84.9 in 6th and 90.9 in
5th.
Granted, this isn't a widely quoted or recognized statistic but it's nice
to be able to just twist it an pull away from the zingers while they are
rowing through the gears.

were done on different days, under different conditions (although
a good number of them had the same rider, the aforementioned Mr
Gleason). There is no guarantee that on a different day on a different
track, an individual FZ 1000 with Rider A might not beat a V65 Magna
ridden by Rider B.
I have nothing against the V65, but saying Bike A beats Bike B based
on published quarter mile times, it's just bench racing.
Now, you take my highly modified Wasp Major powered MB-5...
