[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 797215, member: 3256"] I think my performance mods are the only reason my bike was faster. It only makes sense that a stock Gen II would accelerate slower than a stock Gen I. Gen I is a bit lighter and has slightly lower overall gearing which should both translate to faster acceleration. The magazines also report faster 0-60mph and 1/4 mile times for Gen I. But then again, black paint has a lower drag ratio :P I'm working on a program in my spare time that will once-and-for-all be able to show exactly how the slight change in gearing and weight affects actual amount of thrust caused by the wheel vs speed. I'll report the results as soon as I get something working crudely, but working just enough to generate a comparison chart between Gen I and Gen II. [/QUOTE]
