Default Re: go take a buell for a ride, then tell me what you think

"120 ft-lbs at the rear wheel"? I think not. Not even close. Want torque? Look at the Hayabusa's numbers. For less than your $8k, I could get a new Bandit 1200 that would eat the Buell for lunch. And lets not forget how ugly the Buells are...

Default Re: torque numbers from the dyno

From what I've read, the 'Busa smokes most anything in roll-ons too. And remember, the 98 ft-lbs is STOCK. For the same "strocker" displacement in a 'Busa engine, I've seen an article in one of the bike mags of 200 horse and 150 ft-lbs or so. At the last 2 Superbike races at Mid-Ohio, they had a few Buells run on the dyno. The most I saw from one with at least a pipe on it was 92 horse, and 80-something ft-lbs. Yeah, they sound good, but so does a Ducati.
