Seriously, I would love one. I'm not aware of any that are available so I'm thinking of getting one developed. Just testing the waters, would anyone here be interested? Here's my thoughts on the specs:
- Digital speedo converted to rate of acceleration.
- Realtime readout of acceleration rate.
- Resettable memory would store highest value.
- House in a nifty display like the gear indicators are.
- Obviously, I hope, this is an add-on to the stock bike and not a replacement for the traditional speedo
If anyone is unfamiliar with Rate of Acceleration, it means how fast your bike is picking up speed - or the Pull.
If you accelerated 0-100mph in 20secs, your average rate of acceleration is 5mph/sec.
If you did it in 10 seconds, your average ROA would be 10mph/sec
If you did it in 5 seconds, your average ROA would be 20mph/sec
You can see by this how benefitial it would be to know ROA for kicks or for tweaking your drag racing skills. Also for measuring a bikes performance capabilities. Torque is a great number to know. But, factor in weight, tires, etc., it doesn't mean as much compared to knowing How fast can it go? (ROA)
Last part... while you may average 7mph/sec on a run, it would be cool to know you pulled 12mph/sec for a moment.
