2.89 is screaming fast for a bike it's size and the best part is.,.

You can do it consistently, over and over until the tire or clutch are toast.

Launch control....smexy. Probably my favorite feature of all this new fangled technology.

Cutting a 3.0 on my bike is quite challenging since launch control isn't there to help, and the bike wants to wheelie or spin.
I was wondering if launch contro could be achieved by restricting 1st gear? Launching is hairy for sure, almost lost it last week at track being way to aggressive off the line, just way to much torque.

I could only manage 3.25 - 3.3 when the bike was around 5000km old...having to shift at 80 with the stock rev limit was cost the 0.3. I haven't had a data logging set up for a couple of years but would be interesting to see if I've improved any.
 
Sadly, no launch control.......

Traction control, O.K......

The new bike definitely has launch control, at least, their marketing department has been claiming it does.

Wasn't launch control available via TuneBoy?

It was quasi launch control at best using secondary throttle blades to limit air flow, I tried it out a few times, was pretty lack luster. To do it right the system needs an IMU, which the new bike has. IMU data paired with gear, wheel speed, RPM and Throttle Position / Control let's the bike use maximum power on any road surface by adjusting the throttle blade position.

It's a revolutionary leap comparatively between the two.
 
i haven’t ran the 1/4 yet but the widow maker runs an 8 sec 1/8 consistent 90mph, but I’m learning and having fun
Having fun is the important thing! Not stalling on the line helps with times, and fun. I would say good times could be applied to both, but nobody likes dad jokes.
