    the numbers game, stock vs custom specs

    I always see motorcycles like charts and graphs, when I see one I wonder what the power to weight ratio is, what the weight distribution is with and without rider, weight, torque, rotating mass, un-sprung weight, etc.

    My question is, would anyone like to post what they have for their bike here along with stock numbers as a reference for people looking to achieve the same? or has anyone found a good site with this info already?

    whats the point? every bike is different and every rider is different, no mods on a bike are exactly the same and every rider has a different riding style so why would you want a reference for something that wont work for everyone?
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      yeah? I mean if you weighed 150lbs, on my GS1100 which we'll guess has 100RWHP... weighs about 550 wet on its own. So thats 700 lbs... 100HP, for a 7:1 ratio... Now, *I* weigh 260... that goes up a bit...

        Im pretty sure you could use x to represent the variability of a riders weight int he equation........
        not sure why you would want to achieve a mere number in a build

        it would be like reverese engineering almost
