100 bhp is all I need debate - again

[The Singing Chef]

well maybe you'll see what we mean from this clip.... in top 2500rpm gives 110kph..... you can have some serious fun on sub 100bhp bikes.... oh 110ft lbs is about 150nm

Sounds like a friggen aeroplane! That would make them cagers move!

ZRX1400... same torque as the MT-01..... 110ft lbs
FJR1300... 100ft lbs of torque not bad for a decade old bike.... Hayabusa..94ft lbs of torque <<<<---------- but shitloads more HP
V max 123ft lbs...... B king 108ft lbs

Also busa stats are
Max Power
175 hp 127.6 kW @ 9800 rpm
Max Torque
103ft lb/140 Nm @ 7000 rpm
A silly good mixture or torque and hp

I must say i have only recent become aware of the MT-01 and it certainly looks and sounds like a cool bike to own.
So does the Vmax god i would love to own one of them.

What's so magical about the limitation number of 100?

100hp
100kph

Because racecar.

I second that motion.

Honda, and a lot of other people, consider it likely that the price of gas is about to go through the roof.
So the latest offerings from Honda, the NC700 series, make plus or minus fifty horses depending on the variant, but they do about 90mpg. (Children can do their own conversions, but that's about double the mileage of most current bikes.)

BMW is another maker that has been focused on reduced consumption in more recent models.

Reducing from my current 130HP odd to fifty seems a big drop, and is. Then again 50HP was good enough for a Manx Norton way-back-when so maybe...

Yes apologies the original busa was 94ft lbs,,,, the new version does indeed have more torque

still less than an MT-01 though

This is what a standard one's like from the rider perspective,,,,, at one point you can see how 'quickly' it climbs to 3k revs/130kph

Could the government limit the petrol price to 100 cents per litre?

busa would still the MT-01
But the MT-01 is certainly a very cool bike i loved the torque from 100 revs on the harley.

Is it true they get like 19.5km/L / 45mpg?

[ducatilover]

Remember, the FJ and ZZR are very old bikes these days, the partial throttle power on the modern fullas is biblical compared to the older beasts, I would put my $$ on a 'Busa spanking an MT-01 in roll on tests.
I'd rather ride an MT though, it's disturbingly cool!

as it happens I filled up on the way home this evening... 11 ltrs for 203 kms

of course the busa would.. never tried to say otherwise lol....


the partial power of the current bikes IS good, you have variable valves, ignition mapping, injection etc...
the FJ and ZZR are 'old' however we have their moderm counterparts... FJR/Concours/ZX1400/Busa. the busa isnt a sprot bike in the same sense the ZZR or Blackbird were sprot bikes....... compare the Busa, ZX14 to modern sprot bikes....
theres your modern version of the shoot out that I posted an excerpt from.
