Btw... she said "ABOUT"... not "EXACTLY"... cut her some slack yesh.Fast Eddy B wrote:Which 500's are we talking about? A 600cc race-rep bike puts out between 108 to 130 bhp. So are we talking about Royal Enfields? (22bhp)Nalian wrote:
That statement is VERY wrong. There is an enormous difference between a 500cc motorcycle and a 600cc supersport. Like about 100 horsepower difference.

A ninja 500 puts out around 42 hp. A buell blast puts out around 30hp. Obviously I'm speaking generally and not running around with a dynomometer on every bike - but at that point does it really matter? My statement still stands.

It made me think you were talking about bikes with 8 to 30 bhp. I wondered which those were. Thanks for clarifying.Nalian wrote:A ninja 500 puts out around 42 hp. A buell blast puts out around 30hp.

Great clarity Koss. I feel much better nowKoss wrote:
Happy now Mr. Technical?
So what does the worldy, experienced, community think about HP on the bike? If you were to draw a line between go and no go for beginners what would the recommended HP be? What would the weight of the bike be? What is the maximum power/ideal configuration that a newbie can have that will still ensure they have the blessing of the higher powers in this forum?. If we were to create a manual for newbies and the first chapter was on the bike what would the bike featured in that chapter be?(Im assumming the newbie wants to ride hard and fast).

I already told you, 50hp/500lbs. That is the general rule of thumb for recommending bikes for n00b strangers on the internet.Peter Y wrote:Great clarity Koss. I feel much better nowKoss wrote:
