dan williams Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Did you ever get on your bike for just a short putt around the yard and think to yourself, "Damn this thing is quick!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 No, but it's a surprise if I get through a section without a dab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy883 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Get on your trials bike next time, that'll slow the trip round your yard abit! A Ducati round the yard is never recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have always marveled at the power to weight ratio and how quickly the bike will launch from a dead stop. (ok it may not reach 100 MPH but you have an idea of what I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Ducati round the yard is never recommended. Depends on your yard. I only have a trials bike. I'm pretty sure the problem is my reaction time rather than the bike but...

No but I have thought "This thing is jumpy". Maybe I should joke about keeping it in first? In all truth depending on what bike you have, your gearing, if you have a quick throttle tube or slow, your experience, and a few other things. They can be rather quick, perspectively speaking, when you put your wrist into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wonder if twitchy steering makes newer bike feel faster than they are when you're at anything over 20mph (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
