Best Sierra Diff Ratio for Bike engine?

Hey guys, as the title says, what is the best ratio-ed Sierra rear diff when being used with a motorbike unit? I would want something that has a short ratio for acceleration but also useable during daily driving.

What are all the ratios available for Sierras?

Search is your friend As it depends what engine you plan on using and how fast or quick you want to go
I'm happy with my Fireblade 3.62 15" wheels.It tops out at 110, but I would'nt awant to go faster

Its a regular question. I have a 3.62 with my 98 R1. Top speed is 120 at the red line. The fastest I've been on the track so far is 115 so there's no problem but peak power is at 103 and acceleration drops off after that.

For regular track work, a 3.38 or 3.14 may be better.

We have a 3.62LSD in ours, tops out at 129mph but depends on the output shaft ratio which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer... personally I think a 3.38 would be better as 0-60 would be achieved in first gear.
