Anybody know the approximate 0-60 time for a stock RSV? I just want to know when I'm sitting at the line and need to get in front of somebody, what cars might be tough to beat.

TransportSpecs.com has this to say at this link:

 

 

0-60 7 Sec.

 

 

Rembember it is only rated at 98 HP and weight 827 Lbs........

 

Thank you KiteSquid. That's exectly what I was looking for. Couldn't seem to find it when I did a Google search.

 

I must say, she feels a bit faster than that to me. I sure thought top speed was higher than 106, since I've gotten up to about 90 in 3rd gear. I think those numbers may be a bit conservative, but I'm sure they're in the neighborhood. Thanks much for finiding them.

106 sounds about right,, remember the revlimiter kicks in at 5600 rpms, below the engines normal peak HP. If they let it rev it would make more HP, just like the old V-max.

 

But, 98 HP with a 175lb rider gives you 10lbs per HP, so it should have about the same acceleration as a new Mustang GT. They are around 315hp and 3300lbs.

1st gen MkII for comparison from Cycle Nov 86 road test

 

1/4 mi 12.55 @ 104.44

 

0-60 3.60 sec

 

45-70 3rd gear 3.20 sec

4th gear 4.40 sec

5th gear 5.92 sec

 

Speed @ 7500 RPM

1st gear 47

2nd gear 68

3rd gear 90

4th gear 113

5th gear 133 (They stated they backed at 115 so unclear if this is actual?)

 

I've never driven a 2nd Gen but think it should do sub 6 sec 0-60 easily.

 

Anyone have a Cycle road test?

I would think a second gen would be close to this if they moved the rev limiter to up around 7000rpm.

I'd have to agree. If a 1st gen can do a legitimate 3.6, then there's no way the 2nd gen would take 7.0 - twice as long to do 0-60. I thought that seemed pretty high. I have a 4 cyl car that does under 7.0 and my RSV sure feels a lot faster.

Other than street racing (OH...:shock3: but, I've NEVER:no-no-no: done THAT:whistling:), Magazine test times are the only true apples to apples comparison most us have.

 

BUT

 

I've go to think a 3.6 sec 0-60 magazine time is really closer to 4-5 secs for most of us poor slobs who actually own the machinery. Testers make a living thrashing machines they don't own, wear the best free safety gear and often have an ambulance standing by. Plus the manufacturers WANT the testers to wring the living snot out of those machines so they can publish the best times.

 

Where do I apply?:322:
