Doesn't bother me either way to be honest. I'll dig out the dyno graph, get it scanned and post it later if you want.

I'm sure "quick" is being used in a relative context here.

On the straights, we have everyone and their dogs blasting right past us, but we were able to go round the outside of them on the faster corners - "keeping up with them" is an understatement.

On relative power, I think Antonye's bike is marginally faster than mine. I don't know whether it is down to the engine, gearing, or weight difference (probably all three) and he is faster than me because of rider ability.

In the sessions where I started behind him, I was able to maintain the same distance to him when traffic was clear but couldn't catch up. When I started in front, he could catch me. Given a clear track with identical bikes I think I'd be within a second a lap at Snetterton, but his overtaking confidence is much better than mine so he'd win hands down in any racing scenario.

The 'quick' thing is relative guys-low powered bikes can be lots of fun as you can use all of the power all of the time-which is half the point of the series.
My Gilera Saturno makes about 36rwbhp but it doesn't get overtaken much at Cadwell as you can just keep it flat and ride the corners-DesmoDue bikes should be much the same-only faster.:devil:
Power isn't every thing-look at MotoGP, the top 125's would beat the bottom MotoGP runners with 50 bhp compared to between 220-260 bhp! It makes you think.

That's what I was going to say, but I didn't have the facts to back me up!
