Maybe he can exploit all that power....after all,as you said "is it that important"!

sounds like a challenge but we all know its the rider not the bike.

Now that is odd - mine is giving the 55+ calculated at the rear wheel. Interesting nonetheless.

2 cylinders are all you need but 3 is an excellent compromise
