Mr. 973808 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've always wondered how is that a mere stock 140hp motorcycle is capable of goin 150mph or more than a car that needs at least 400hp or more to do the same speed limit?

+ZER0Hz+ Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 power to weight lets say that the motorcycle is 500 lbs with 100 hp for the ease of math the car weighs say 2000 lbs and has 400 hp also cause im not a calculator the motorcycle has a 1:5 pwratio that means that every hp has to push 5 lbs the cars pwratio is also 1:5 (wasnt that convenient?) seee now?
