Maybe this'll answer your question, especially if you're riding a 790cc.
.................... in magazine tests, a box-stock 883 Sportster turned in a quarter mile time of 14.2 seconds at 91.2 mph. (Almost all Sportsters on the street have the benefit, at the minimum, of Screaming Eagle mufflers, air cleaner and carb kits, and will be quicker than this.) The W650 ran the quarter mile in 14.05 seconds at 93.24 mph. The Bonneville turned a 1/4 mile time of 13.83 sec. at 95.34 mph, a bit quicker than the other two. In reality, the typical Bonneville and 883 Sportster will both probably out drag the W650 on the street, because they will be running low restriction exhaust systems and carburetor kits. It is a shame that Kawasaki has not made similar bolt-on performance enhancements available for the W650.
