On a MP3 /500 with a correctly broken in engine (or over 2000 miles) with a 200 lb ( +/- ) rider, how fast in seconds would an MP3 accelerate to 70 MPH ?.

To much traffic to determine that. I would have to get up at 5AM and get on the Interstate. Just my gut feel... comparing my 500 and tp my GTS 300. The 300 would beat it taking off, and then the 500 would say... Bye.. Bye.. further down the road. Keith, Marietta, GA |

I guess I just need to re-phrase the question. IF you know- approx how long in seconds does an MP3 go from 0-70 MPH ???.

I am an old guy with some health issues, not much into WOT now a days, I have not found a road test that states this info, and I just wanted to know IF someone out there has any information-guess not.

My personal experience on a drag strip is a quarter mile time of around 18.5 seconds with a top speed of 71 MPH, but I had a slow reaction time getting off the line. So, the answer is probably somewhere between 15 and 18.5 seconds... |

I have a '16 MP3 500 and was just on the Interstate...I can get up to 70 in about 10 seconds, and get to Stupid Fast not much after that. Highest I've had it is 87, unintentionally.
This is the bike that's going to get me my first riding related speeding ticket. |

A little light reading.
for the record, my speedometer was indicating between 95 and something higher. They are 10% optimistic however. Click on the words below V V V And then he said. |

Glad I asked. Looks like some are capable of being much faster than others- (lol).!!!Maybe it's the break in procedure.

That's right, the oil- I forgot about the oil......that's probably good for another 10 mph and 4-5 seconds off the 1/4 mile. ( lol).

Was the OP asking about the acceleration and performance figures for the red or black model of the MP3 500? It makes a difference since we all know which model is fastest...
