Hp is the amount of work done in a given time. 100 hp of work is 100 hp of work. If it's not fair that a 100/100 engine race with a 100/55 engine, is it fair that an engine that is designed to rev to 16,000 rpm is raced against one designed to rev to 10,000? Everyone knows that HP goes up with rpm as long as you can keep the torque from falling to fast.

Besides, I'd bet the Buells dyno'd with more hp than they did at the beginning of the season, and it showed up in the results, and they got weight added for it.

Ok back to my original stand...it's BS for an 1125 Buell to race against 600's and then for owners to brag IF they actually win...wanna be a big boy...then go race with the litre bikes like Ducati.

100 hp is 100 hp no matter where you acheive it but if you have more torque even though the hp is the same...it's an unfair advantage...again...just go run with like size bikes.

Some of you must have been on your debate team in school and just enjoy it. Argue with someone and then when they might possibly agree with something you say....change positions and argue some more.
