Although to be honest, I'm only interested out of slight curiosity. Who doesn't enjoy a good drag race. But like most of you, I absolutely love my B, and definitely didn't buy it to ride a quarter mile at a time, lol.

With a 0 - 60 time there is only one shift involved. Whats more important is how the bike launches. Our bikes are very easy to launch hard. You can dump the clutch with a mitt full of throttle, not worry too much about lofting the wheel, and get the rear hooked up very nicely. I don't think the DCT allows that, and would pay the price in the first 100 feet. Somebody get out there and defend our honour!!! If given the chance, I'll report back....
