Is it a cruiser though? Not in my books.

The winner so far is

Kawasaki ZX-14 - 154 Nm/7500

Go ride a TL1000R or S and see what chews through tyres more. Those things have torque as soon as you open the throttle in any gear at any rpm. They chew through tyres like most people change their underwear because of the torque.

Peak Horsepower: 114.3 at 9,500 rpm

Peak Torque: 73.0 at 7,000 rpm

Fuck RM, what a pathetic thread. What happened, did your Playstation break down or does your mum have her period?

My mum had a honda C90 and she could talk the hind leg off a big animal.

Clivoris, maybe your mother could teach RM how to ride properly so one day, when he saves enough money to buy the "talkiest" bike in the world, he'll know how to ride it.

She's a bit of a hoot, I reckon she'd be up for it. I remember her telling the salesman (about 30 years ago) that she wanted a fullface helmet. That way if her head got knocked off in an accident it would still be nicely contained.

What is a good and reliable website for looking up torque and horsepower figures for any kind of bike? Been lloking for one but can't find any.

**Titanium** · 27th August 2006, 18:47

Some of the aftermarket zorst makers are good for figures. Try some of those.
