As dumb as it might seem I've been wondering how many G's do we get when accelerating hard on FZ6? The thought came to my mind when recently, while going really hard from 0 on the 1st gear at around 9k rpms when the bike was pulling really hard and fast I've noticed that my head is giving up - blurred vision, a bit dizzy. It has happened to me like three times since owning the bike and it seems weird.
The first idea was I am going WARP 2 on the bike but then I've realised that this is not the proper century yet :)

Compared to an AWD sports car, our launch is not so great. That said, there apps out there just for this stuff.

I suspect G forces are less than 1, maybe 0.9 or so.
Check this out. GT-R does 10.87 @ 125mph generating 1.3G's. Most during 0-60 ft, which is not our bikes strong point!
Watch a stock 2013 Nissan GT-R run 10s in the quarter mile [video]

I'm no expert but have your BP checked at upper and lower limbs. Sit for 30", stand up quickly and check BP again. Just a thought.

It'd under 1 G for sure, I read up a bit on this for fun after you asked;

1 G = 32 ft/s^2

The FZ6 does 0-60 in 3.44 seconds from what I've read

60 mph = 88 ft/s

88 ft/s / 3.44 s

=25.58 ft/s^2

25.58/32 = 0.799 G

So theres the math haha, for you to pull 1 G you need to get 0-60 in 2.75 seconds

^^ looks like something I would do! ;)

My WAG was 0.9G and your math 0.8G! I'm Ok with that as you saved me some time!! :D
