That's it, just like launch control on the new Vette and Mustang.
Oh, and I imagine you just can't sit there. There's probably some interacting with the bike taking place.
It's new to me and seems unnatural - however - the way it works is you hold the throttle wide open, it keeps the revs at 4K, you dump the clutch, then the bike manages the throttle to keep the front wheel down while all you do is sit there? Am I getting that right? Because that seems crazy.

Holding the tap at 100% and dropping the clutch (regardless of where the computer has the rpms set) seems a lot like playing Russian roulette. What's the ecu gonna do after the clutch is out? I think I'd feel more comfortable just laying on the tank and feathering it myself...The clutch release is still something you have to do yourself ...
Years ago, when I started roadracing, there was another new racer who had an RZ350 (which were a dime a dozen back then). The question of what to do at the start came up. Someone told him "Hold it at 10,000 rpm and when the flag drops, dump the clutch and pin it" ... so he DID that!
I don't think the back wheel moved. The bike did an instantaneous 180 degree flip around the back wheel and landed on top of him!
Isn't that like funny cars coming over to make fun of nascar? Like an army tank picking on a hummer? Like Rosie calling Ellen a lesbian?"Something this powerful"....according to the boosted 14 crowd...this bike isn't all that powerful....
Actually its 6,500 rpm. Some other interesting points...It's new to me and seems unnatural - however - the way it works is you hold the throttle wide open, it keeps the revs at 4K, you dump the clutch, then the bike manages the throttle to keep the front wheel down while all you do is sit there?

I've also seen exactly zero boosted 14's out riding around (seen a few on the back of a truck though). I think my Friday night's are safe.[/QUOTE
