Honda V-65 Magna 1/4 mile time??

[Supercharged Vipermad]

Forgive the non-Viper related question, but I figured the 1/4 mile junkies would know the answer here! Remember the really cool Honda V-65 Magna t.v. commmercial back in 1984 or so showing it dragging the 1/4 mile? It set the new stock record. What did they advertise the time being on those ads? I want to say 10.84 sec, but I can't recall for sure.

Thanks,

Rollo

I remember that commercial. It was 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. Peewee Gleason at the helm.

That was with PeeWee Gleason aboard,trying to get that bike in the 10's was like pulling teeth for the average rider,there were a lot of frustrated V65 owners getting spanked by crotch rockets,the V65 had a driveshaft that made the bike rise in the rear on a hard launch.
