I've been riding a 9.5 second motorbike for 30 years (not continuously, I watch tv, eat my dinner, go to bed, etc, when Im not on the bike) and never been able to safely or legally unleash the full horse. Its good for little more than bragging rights.

Perhaps you are confusing top speed with acceleration Familyman?
I'm also a biker (more so than a car bloke really) and know that sub 9.5 seconds for the quarter mile on a bike is mighty quick acceleration - there have probably only been a handful of road going bikes ever that could do that, and then only with a rider of considerable skill and bravery in ideal conditions. I'm not really a supporter of EVs, but the point of the Tesla model X Plaid is that anyone's grandmother with £110,000 can do a 9.5 second quarter mile. Like it or not, that is seriously impressive.
