The yamaha r1 has about 174 true hp. The bike with almost 1:1 pwr to wt ratio is capable of 10sec runs easily. Only a few in india can achieve it. Moreover the bike finishes the run in 3 rd gear. If it was geared to finish the run in 5th or 6th the time would be roughly in the early 9s. or late 8s.If rider can keep the wheels down.!

Coming back to the vtec. 11sec with 250hp on a unmodifed bodyshell is impossible. U need atleast 1:2 pwr to weight to get to 11s.
