Guzzi with thier epically tall first gear and limited rev range meaning you need to jam or gear or two, I say the pussy cat.

I'll go with the kitty also. After all it has four paw drive with traction enhancement.

I will SWAG the Guzzi, because the cat may take a bit to get up to top speed.

Seriously, I've seen cheetahs on NG. those things explode to top speed in a heartbeat. Their survival depends on it.
You snooze you lose, doesn't apply. you snooze you die for them

Spent a bit of rest time from yard work to checkout YouTube videos of cheetah 0 to 60 times. Actually quite a few out there. One thing I learned is they are a lot like humans, some are really quick and some aren't.

Couldn't find a time for the Guzzi Daytona, but the other V11 Lemans are not so quick either.

What was surprising to me was some of the old two strokes that I thought were real quick really weren't all that quick when compared to common bikes today.

Checkout https://www.zeroto60times.com/ and plug in bikes in the search.

Cheetahs have been known to reach speeds around 75mph...and take a remarkably short number of steps to reach that speed. However, they can only maintain speed for a short time.

The Daytona, and I, need our summer fling.
A couple things I may not recall clearly:
That high 1st gear gets you past 60 w/out a change up.
Quoting a magazine text from the period. 0-60 in 3.8 sec.   Good fortune,  R3~

The cheetah has been documented 0 to 47 in under 2 seconds, so not much of a chance the Daytona is going to catch it by 60.
and the cheetah won't need a change up either  :wink:

Have you fixed that oil pressure problem yet?

We have genetically enhanced goats in our back yard the can accelerate fro 0-60 in less time than it takes to sink a shot of bourbon and do a line of meth!  :laugh:

It depends. If the Daytona has a Power Commander installed, it will always be faster. Even if it's not, all the brown-nosed lickspittles will say it is. It will make 25% more power without evidence or documented proof. The Cheetah will be called an amateur and wrong, and therefore a liar. It's not even fast, and has other cats to run for it.

Perfect companion accessory for launching the Power Commander to where it belongs:

well the good news is, you don't have to worry about outrunning a cheetah, all you need to do is outrun the guy next to you.  :boozing:

"The cheetah runs no more than 500 m (1,640 ft) at the speed of 80 to 112 km/h (50 to 70 mph); it very rarely runs at this high speed as most chases are within 100 m (330 ft)"

In a long race, I'd go with the Daytona.

Not a long race, and if he was chasing you, it would be a VERY short race  :shocked:

On page two of a fantasy question, I'm allowed to change the question. And I don't think a cheetah would be chasing me on a Daytona with Staintunes unless I had an antelope strapped to my back.

Just to be clear:
I no longer can outrun anything, on or off a motorcycle.
If it's my Daytona Mr. Roper is referring to: A preemptive strike was struck through the aid of G. Caruso @ 22K miles. My shorts remain clean, thank you. The nearest I've gotten to Cats' is a few of those big, hammering yellow things twisting a Q box. R3~

New question.  Which is faster from zero to sixty?

A Guzzi Daytona?  A cheetah on benezedrine?  Or an arthritic 3-toed sloth falling out of a tall Cecropia tree?    (Assume the relative humidity exceeds 80%)

 Natural wild cats from bobcats to tigers are magnificent  unique beasts representing the most skilled stalking predators as a group..They are being pushed in extinction by human expansion...when they are gone and only seen in captive in zoos, we will have suffered a great loss....I am always impressed watching our male house cat stalk and kill squirrels using the same techniques as the large cats..And he does eat his kills...
