vfr400 performance.... wikiwiki

[tigerclaw]

Hi, a while ago on wikipedia I thought I saw performance stats that said 0 to 100 in 4.5 and 100 to 0 in 3.
I love strong brakes and I think nc's stop hard.... But now wiki says 0 to 100 in 3.7s and 100 to 0 in 4.5
Does anyone know what is correct.... I have been trying to test it by myself but I don't brake so well while I'm using a stopwatch

Not really into wikipedia but isnt the info on there editable by anyone? I wouldn't trust what i read on there if im honest

Hmmm didn't know anyone can edit it.... I thought they did some homework / would get some concensus before posting stuff... But what you say makes sense, sometimes on wiki I have seen it say "needs verification" or something to that effect.

So where would I find a reliable 100 to 0 stat?

- On the track with race slicks and carbon pads my nc pulled up really quick.

- On a dirty road with average tyres and shit pads and it won't be so great.

There are so many variables involved (rider being the most important one) that you're probably better off measuring it yourself, plus, it's probably more important how fast you can stop rather than what the bike might be capable of.

I once edited some of the info on the nc30/35 wiki pages because it was clearly false - I'd be willing to bet that no standard nc30 will get to 100 km/h in 3.7s, the long first gear really slows the launch.
