Well after a little scientific test (the hanningfield straight for those that know sarf essex) my and my mate have found that a standard exige is just a wee touch quicker than a ZX400 from a standing start to about… Well a fair amount above the speed limit
It really all depends on the start, the 2nd run I got a wee bit too much wheelspin and as his bike can do 70 in first it can make it tricky to keep up initally
However it can stop a lot quicker, turn A LOT faster and is a hellava lot sexier
So the conclusion… Don’t race motorbikes unless it’s twisty enough
