hmm something isn't quite right...
assuming constant acceleration, you need almost 3.0g to push the car (ehh... bike) to 60mph in a second

(60mph ~ 100km/h = 27.8 m/s. v = a*t where v = 27.8 and t = 1.04 gives a = 26.7 m/s^2. knowing 1g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration is 26.7/9.8 = 2.7g.)

downforce can push the bike to the ground, increasing grip at the tires. but at low speed i doubt there's much downforce to be generated. most spoilers are useless until you hit 50mph or more. (and that's why most hypercars top out the 0-60 time in 3 second. there's just not enough grip at the tires no matter how many horses the car's got)

is there something wrong with their numbers? :S
