Please don't take this the wrong way, guys, but you lot always seem to want the extra horses,...'it's brilliant but could do with just a bit more power', etc and then you go on to tell us that you weigh 250lbs or whatever. (What is that in proper money, anyway?) Perhaps, rather than looking at increasing the power of the bike, you could look at, erm, reducing the weight that bike must move.
I know it's not as easy as that but it'd certainly save you money.
I've done a few quick calculations but stock bike (55hp) with a 180lb person puts out 185hp/ton. For someone weighing 250lbs to get that figure, they'd have to find an extra 7-8 horses. Just a thought...and no offense meant to anyone.
Hmmm, looking at that a bit closer, you could say that for every 10 lbs you weigh over 180, you need an extra 1 horsey!!!
