yep, they're insanely fast and can stop dangerously fast, too. If I get another street bike it's gonna do 0-60 in 3 miles as opposed to 0-60 in 3 seconds.....and that was a 2001 (the faster black) FZ1.
I think a more appropriate comparison would be with the Cherahola Skyway. That's more of a high speed ride than The Dragon. I zipped that road a few times on my long gone FZ1.
Plz remember this when riding the street: YOU ARE INVISIBLE. People will look straight at you and pull out in front of you. That's why I finally left the street....blind boneheads. Also, when you are stopped behind someone in traffic, leave yourself room for a quick scoot to the left or right...
