Not sure how equal riders would go on 120bhp and 144bhp for example?
Probably go the same speed eh - not!

for what its worth im not so sure horsepower counts anywhere near as much as some people are making out.
last time i was on my 146 bhp 999 at brands indy best i did was 58.65
on my 60? bhp monster a week back best i did was a 58.06
now, ok its a year apart and hopefully i have improved a bit but even so? going from what some people are saying i should be WAY slower on the monster. |
...but you're a muppet
Look at what Andy Johnson did at Brands... from 53 ish up to 66 ish, and went from fighting for 5th??? at best to fighting for a WIN!!!!!
A good rider shows the diff between 53 and 66.
I'm sure you'd go a bit faster on the 999 this year - in a race - if you weren't worried about dropping it etc etc
