hi,
so what has a faster 0-60 and top speed,just wondering if anybody has seen the specs for both bikes,a totally derestricted standard nsr 125 rr or an aprilia rs 125?

After our little drag racing episode, 0-60 times means nothing, it's all down to the rider...Strictly speaking a VFR should be quicker than a CBR..... Well, well well, I think V and i proved that wrong eh Stew?? Wink

All our drag racing proved was that a 400cc bike with an 8 stone rider goes faster than a 400cc bike with a 14stone rider Sad

(in a straight line)

But yes Anna, you n V did beat me n Dean no probs..............not taking anything away from you at all!

Bring on a trackday!!

0-60 depends fully on the driver, havin raced 3 nsr's a lot i know this
after 60 the rs is quite a bit quicker and will easily pass nsr after 80
the difference is minimal really at the end of the day unless you bury it for a good long road
nsr picks up easier and off a non buried start will be ahead of rs usually

Stew: sorry, but you're bike has enough power to lift the front, therefore you will have an advantage because you can use more of the power without lifting the front.

Anna: sorry (again), AFAIK a cbr should be quicker to 60 because they are lower geared.

/me thinks we should all go to a trackday to sort it out Very Happy

I disagree G. Maybe on a bigger bike that would work but on a 400 which pretty much won't lift on the throttle the extra weight only serves to slow you down. That was proven when Stew rode the CBR and still got a slower time.

But the 400 *will* lift the front with cutch... so the amount of power getting needs to be 'controlled' with the clutch (errrr... yes, the clutch Confused

)... Once you're going faster it will make a difference but the initial start, which AFAIK is the most important bit, keeping the front wheel down *should* be the major concern.
