According to my GPS I hit 176 in 4th (still had a few rpms before I needed to shift), i know it's less than a half mile from the on ramp to my exit, but I was getting to the top of the bridge and had to slow down to take the off ramp. I thought that was ok for an 800 pound cruiser climbing a steep bridge.

Nothing trickier then hitting a rise in the road above 160 really shows you how weak the fog light brackets are when you land! Gone thru two sets before I was smart enough not to use them

I would think Standard vs Roaster would play a factor also... and don't forget to factor in the color Roadster..0-100 9.09 seconds Standard
0-100 7.7

Sounds about right for a stock bike.

For a Carp bike I'd expect in the 5.x range if ridden really well.

Someone posted the speed in gears here once, for a Carpentered bike, 9000 rpm in 5th gear is 238 mph, I believe. I bet 0-60 is about 3 seconds, it's faster to 60 than any car I've ever been in.

Vmax is a 2.5 0-60, as are a few other bikes. A pro may be able to match it on a carp R3.

When Triumph first introduced the Rocket they claimed a 0-60 time of 2.8 sec. I assume that would be unrestricted.

IDK, I want to find out, if stock is 2.8, even unrestricted, I'm thinking a Carpenter bike is well under 2.5. I have a cbr 1000 and a Super Blackbird, I'd bet on my Rocket against either. @warp9.9 -you've run a quarter, don't they give you 0-60 times? I know you were short a gear, though. @IMFASTTOO should be able to find out figures, too.

I wish 1/4 slips had 0-60, they just have 60 foot times though.
