Okay I check Motorcyclist and the 1125 they dyno'd made 129hp and 82 ft/lbs.
A 600RR made 106hp and 45 ft/lbs
There is that better? So your bike "only" makes 20 more horses and 35 more ft/lbs of torque stock... well what was I thinking? You're right in light of this new evidence I declare that it is perfectly acceptable for Buell to race this 1125cc bike against 600s. Heck, a 1098 only dyno's in at 139hp why not just strap an extra 20 lbs onto it and let it race in this class too? |
It makes 20 more hp, once you account for gearing the torque isn't going to be much different between them.
And all you need is to get the AMA to okay your 1098, and you're all set. BTW I think the GSXR750 only makes 129hp......
