Um, there's some dodgy statistics there, I reckon it's computer generated from a scan of the Beano or something :P

Why don't you have a drag race with another Yeovoul member, or are you the only one in the village? :mrgreen:

I bet these figures are either dreamt up, or come from different sources who have tested differently or didn't get further than reading the rather optimistic sales-brochure. Top-speed of an M2 of 203 km/u is about what mine does (on GPS, not speedo), to get to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds seems a little optimistic unless it's on full US gearing. Or if you drop it of a cliff ;)

A standard S1 doing 225 km/u (against an X1 reaching a more realistic 210) seems highly unlikely too. Most tubers get barely more than 70 bhp at the rear wheel, you will need a good deal more than that to get 225km out of an unfaired bike.

Luckily it's all perfectly unimportant, since Buells feel very fast and that is what counts ;)
