I’ve done plenty of that and used to be a Ducati mechanic (I noticed your sig) before going back to school for engineering. The last liter bike I rode was over 10 years ago so I’m sure they’re even crazier now especially with all the electronics, but I wouldn’t take someone for a ride on one like I can with the 930. The 930 can’t put down crazy 0-60 times with the old 4 speed but it pulls as hard as a sub 3 second car.

I agee with Chris Harris in saying the 0-60 times like Tesla and many super cars are doing now is just a party trick. It’s not something you’ll do very often, it’ll scare your passengers and probably any other driver within crash distance.
