Im sure that the fastest bike in the world has a 0-60 of around 2.5 seconds.

Perhaps i was wrong it may be more like 3 seconds, i've never timed it. But think about it a bike dyno at 178hp weighing 420lb full tank can accerlate hard. I would challange any road car to a 70 mph roll-on. Hell im still in first gear at 70mph.

Ok i just want to share my biggest rush on a bike. Taking off at the drag strip full lean on tank while slowing rolling on the throttle. The trick is keeping the front tire just floating no more than 1/2 inch all the way up to 100 mph redline. Just as the tach hits 12k rpm i crack the throttle and the bike launches forward and starts pulling the front about a foot off the ground. Grab second and hang the tire still about a foot and grab third for a short wheelie then finally staying down long enough to grab fourth. Well thats 9.9 seconds and 150 mph of the most fun possible, uh except sex.
