Yeah, then it breaks, again
I was expecting a comment along the lines of
"i didn't know AA vans went that fast"

What you do in the privacy of your own home, is your business.I've just lubed my splines ......
Only had the front wheel up on the GSA twice in 7 years and 150,000 miles. Both times by accident, once accelerating hard from a service station on the M6 whilst overloaded with other folks luggage and cider? The other time between Blairgowrie and Braemar on an undulating road whilst changing up a gear at the crest of a rise.
My Hp4 Carbon on the other hand
Sadly not quite as quick as a ZZR.

You all take things too literally around here... figure of speech... but it was bloody quick!! Would do close to 70 MPH in first LOL... but it was heavily modified... forget the BHP...200 springs to mind
Wonder if thats why I’m getting air... I have the modules fitted also... was out with my Son on the back last week (about 30KG) and I could not keep it down ... great fun...
I have a IT465 for wheels up... they are just mental
Maybe 0-100kph..
My TC with AF-XIED units wants to pick its front wheel up off the throttle in second (the midrange torque is now huge compared to standard) but the traction control stops it.
It also does 0-100 mph in 1.5 seconds
102mph in 1st gear. 2006 R1. Maybe a bit less actual as that was speed on the display. 1st gear is rather tall on them mind. It wouldnt do 1-100 in 2 seconds though. ah well.
My 2017 GS Rallye is the first bike I have owned that wheelies without trying when in road and dynamic mode with all rider aids on. I love it! I'm not talking stunt man stuff just a nice 'pop' up as I open the throttle in first off the line. Just enough for others in the traffic to think I'm a complete prick
I think the word is Tosser
Traction makes no difference I can’t spin the back wheel and wheelie it.
Judging by some of the replies..
So does the ESA on my 2013 K1300R stop it from wheelieing? I thought it was just wheel spins and that that ESA stopped, I'm surprised it hasn't yet as it has lots of torque. Is ESA working when it growls more as it intervenes? BMW say it does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds
