To calculate the power to weight ratio, the number of kw of power is divided by the total weight in kg (tare weight plus fuel plus 90 kg rider allowance for motorcycles under 260 cc, or tare weight plus rider allowance of 68 kg for motorcycles of 260 cc or more). The result is multiplied by 1000 to convert to kw per tonne

my aprilia rs250 makes about 325 according to that :cool:

"R6",dont know how much,but more than the car driving arses that think they can beat a bike off the lights,just because I can filter through them when they are stationary at a set of lights.

I do drive my scoob as well,but I know better than to try it against a much quicker machine!!!!

Edited to say,,,,Sorry to Chirp up on a serious post,but it really pi**es me off.
Rant over,,its nearly Spring time,Fun times ahead!!!!!!!!!

According to flat4's formula, my ZX6R is producing 448 BHP per metric tonne:D or 550 after a couple of weeks of amoebic dysentry:eek:
