    That's interesting, I don't know how my Maxim X stacks up to newer bikes. I smoked a Harley but that is no big feat.

    everythings stock besides a k&n box filter that fits into the stock airbox. oh if your x is in good running condition you should have no problem keeping up with or beating any newer 600cc sportbike.

    Maxim X: 0.176 hp per pound

    CBR 929RR: 0.35 hp per pound



    The guy on the CBR wasn't racing you. The Maxim-X is a quick bike, but it's not supersport fast.



    2012 ZX-6R: 0.31 hp per pound

    Or even late-model 600cc fast.

    It is however, a suprisingly fast mid 80's cruiser, and a damned fine looking bike.

    They do all share very similar 0-60 times. Stoplight to stoplight would be entirely down to the rider.
