at 5 minutes in a guy on an 850 struggling with keeping the front end down. Nice riding though as they are tricky things to launch.

I'd expect it to. Despite the tendency for it to squat on launch the motor is so strong in the midrange that it really punches above its weight so to speak. if it was a 1/4 mile I think the result would be different. Someone really must enter a sprint to find out, Weston Zoyland?

Wait for meeeeeeeee !
Well, I'm guessing a TDM would be doin' the standing quarter in or around 12.6 -13.0 secs. Maybe a tad less if your really good at it. Goin' off Madad's time on his low geared lightweight mokeyboike.
