How fast does MotoGP motorcycle accelerate?

Question

looking for acceleration times, horsepower/kilowatt output, torque specs. I can't seem to find out how fast these MotoGP really go. The only thing i could find was Ducati 2006 specs http://www.gizmag.com/go/5068/picture/19089/ but no acceleration times were listed.

Answer 1

There is no set times.

There are so many changes that the modern race bikes can have made to them.

Power out put, gear ratio's , final drive etc. Even the size of the wheels will make a massive difference.

This year we saw towards the end of the racing the 16" rears coming in, rather then the 16.5" or the 17" of only a few years back.

At a [ rough ] guess a MotoGP bike could go from 0 - 60 in @ 2.2 / 2.5 seconds and 0 - 100 mph in @ 3.2 / 3.3 seconds.

Like I say, this is only a rough guess.

Answer 2

For a rough guess.. I would say wiggysan is spot on. very accurate.  On thesame subject I would like to know lap times between F! cars and GP bikes on the same circuit. Canceling out acceleration and corner speed. I can only think of montreal. and thats no longer relevent.

Answer 3

Fast as h**l.  Bone stock 1000's run the 1/4 in the 9.9x range.  And those bikes aren't even close to a race prepped GP bike.

Answer 4

go question...what i know moto-gp bikes go as fast as 220-230 mph and HP within the 200 range  my estimated guess....
