Is 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds fast acceleration? How does it compare to common sport cars/motorcycles?

It’s quick – about half the time of an average car nowadays.

Motorcycles can get down close to 3 seconds, which on road or race bikes is limited as the bike will flip over backwards.

Drag bikes have extended swing arms which allows them to accelerate even faster.

It’s a square law, you need 4 times the power to reduce the time by a half.
