I work for a company that does high speed, high precision data aquisition field computers...I have instrumented race bikes before....so I have everything necessary to produce this exact data right here in my lab.
Only problem is I would have to mount the system to my bike and that would require drilling and other unpleasant mods.
Plus, finding the absolute limit of the front tire is not always safe...the bikes in the study I am quoting were fitted with outriggers to prevent a crash.
But yeah, I would love to do this sometime.
Here is the last bike I instrumented, if you look closely you can see our data aquisition system mounted to the tail (looks like a lunchbox).
The rider was formerly ranked in the top ten for AMA superbike...he is a FAST dude....
