From a 250, to a Gsxr1000. What a difference!

Wish my ZZR1100 had the torque of the MT

I wish anything I had did

So is it only the big Yammys that can produce torque?
surely there are more torque motors than the V-Max, MT-01, FJ series,
In the new bike market,

Oh how i would love to have a fang on one of those newish V-Max!

V-MAX makes 180nm from memory, need a Rocket 3 to best that
The MT doesn't have big on-paper torque, but it's where and how it makes it.
I don't think you'll get much better torque and power than a V-max though, jeez they're cool.

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
V max 123ft lbs...... B king 108ft lbs

So the Yammies are right up there for torque

I think some of the MT stage 3 kitted bikes are claiming 130ft lbs and 105hp.
I like the fact the 110 is at 2700 rpm and the vibs make baby batter dizzy

Good on you for recognizing that with great power comes great responsibility.

I still remember the first two times I rode lent 'big bikes' vividly...over 15 years ago but I still can feel that visceral excitement and wow.

The first was a CBR1000, rode over the Takas on my own RG150 and a friend we were riding with sent me off on it...felt like piloting a whale!

Then there was the bike that helped me fall in love with my husband...mmmmmm TL1000s. Omg that bike gave me horn! I jumped on that from my spada 250...felt massive! Lmao

So cool to get that sneak peek of what there is to look forward to with big bikes eh? Thing to keep in mind too is that absolute power corrupts absolutely - see it heaps. Some think cos they can afford a fast bike and can then nail straight lines etc fast that they are fast or skillful riders. In my experience those that did their time on smaller bikes are better smoother riders than those who jumped onto big bikes straight away.

Dead give away I reckon is watching someone u turn , can't do it with your feet on the pegs you should be on a small bike still. In fact basic skills generally seem to lack among this particular brand of biker.

Anyway, it only gets betterer

What is interesting is when you read comments like MT's are wheezy? I guess when you are used to a sprot bike rush of top end power they DO feel 'wheezy'... If you look at the overall power band/rev range they are actually not a lot different to most bikes. My Zed has about 5k of power 6-11.5krpm the MT has about 2.25k power band on a 5.5k red line so if you double that the power band is quite similar in size.. where they 'lack' is the surge of top end HP the big sprot 4's produce....
Keeping the MT in the sweet zone in 4th for most twisty area's I can certainly get through as fast as the ZZR, and with less 'fuss'.

People really do need to read the preceding posts in a thread to gain this thing called context.

I rest my case.

It is the 21st century and we are talking about metric bikes. FFS would it be too much to ask that y'all came to grips with a unit called a Newton metre?

The MT site is mainly americans.Maybe 200NM and 69KW.

Yep it would be,cheers for asking though fella.

Bloody new-fangled maths ... total waste of time. I bet they've even found a new way to work out miles per gallon fuel consumptiom ...

U.S. or Imperial gallon?
