Italian motorcycle is as quick as the Space Shuttle

What can Aprilia's flagship superbike do better than the Space Shuttle? Stoplight races. The company's 180-hp RSV4 gets from zero to 60 mph two seconds quicker than it takes NASA's soon-to-be-retired spaceamino to do the same. Hey, rocket scientists, put that in your slide rules and perform a range of analog mathematical computations with it.
