A 10.5 is an INSANE quarter mile time. That's like track prepped sport bike speeds.

No, it's not. It's what my old-man BMW on/off road bike will do (with a Cycle World editor onboard, not me). It's what the 1982 Honda 1100cc V65 Magna would do (with Pee Wee Gleason, professional drag racer, onboard) 37 years ago.

Pretty nuts for a car, though.

Indeed. Any stock Supersport 600 bike will do 10.5 right out of the showroom.
