Torque competition.

[White trash]

How's this for an idea.

Due to the V-twin versus inline torque debate in another thread, let's put our money where our mouths are, so to speak.

Find (accurate) torque readings of the bike YOU own and post 'em here. No big mods please e.g turbos or nitrous. Pipes, filters and engine management is OK. This means no big bores or stroker kits. Bike must be close to stock.

Then, perhaps, we could take the 5 biggest torquers to a Dyno house for a back to back, base run shoot out. Who's keen?

As soon as I can find the torque figures for mine, I'll post 'em. An early dyno graph would be helpfull to estimate ridability too.

Go for it.

[Waylander]

How would I get it tested to find out how much it's got?

I'm disapointed singles haven't been included The mighty GB releases a wopping 3.4 kg-m at 6,000 rpm

[DEATH_INC.]

I'm pissed at not being included with the turbo,after all it was a factory turbo....

Triumph Rocket 3

Performance (Measured at crankshaft to DIN 70020) Maximum Power 142PS (140bhp) at 5,750 rpm
Maximum Torque 200Nm (147ft.lbf) at 2,500 rpm

This beats all the big Vee twins and has a faster 0-60 than a Busa.

Looking forward to someone posting something with more torque!

Whats that Australian V8 racebike again?

But Garry, you don't got a RIII. Also, it aint an inline four or a V-Twin. And I'm talkin' road bikes, not some Koala rooting race thingy.....

Edit: And Triumph will tell ya it beats a Busa, let's see it on the strip. A pommy bike mag's already proven it doesn't.

You're welcome.

[bugjuice]

off a friends 636 in the states..
ok, so no where near a twin or thou.. but i like it.. just needs to be dyno'd in a wind tunnel for the Ramair bit to work.. and that might get a few more ponies...

Damnit. I though it was a competition on who knows the most about the awesome movie Torque.

Burn rubber not your soul...............oh right hang on that was the other awesome movie biker boyz.

[Riff Raff]

How about 71 rear wheel dynojet bhp with 60Nm of torque on the SV650S?

Tis nice to see NON BIAS reports aint it?

It may as well be.
Graphs and numbers are irrelevant.
The only conclusive test is to match the bikes' acceleration from the same speed,in the same gear for each gear

Back in the late seventies I used this test to shut up my mates when I got tired of their constant boasting about their yamaha XT and TT 500 singles.
My RD 350 cleaned them up.
