I Ride: R1 and then some
R1 horsepower
The other day there was some shit being talked about someone that i know. The subject was R1 horsepower and how he was so wrong. Well i am here to settle this, even though it is a well know fact that is posted all over the bloody internet and someone couldn't get off his arse and look it up. Here are a couple of sites that i have found proving that my friend really knows what he is talking about in the R1.

http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/showth...?threadid=3901

And yes my R1 with hp has just as many ponnies at the crank as your busa. Respect the "R" and don't be talkin shit. just go out and ride

Where is this original thread with the 'shit talking'?

Anyways, about the R1. Here's the problem with the R1, at 8k RPM, they only produce about 22.4hp. It's only between 12.6k and 12.81k they produce 155hp. I have the documents to prove it.

That's why they build gearboxes. To use the power curve. Who wants to ride a bike in just one gear all the time? That's just foolish.

um actually the rider would not be called a rider without a bike, so.... yeah i'm gonna go ahead and say that it takes both because if you don't have a bike then you don't got a rider. otherwise you could take the best rider in the world and put him on a shitty bike and he would do just as good.

OMG!!!'SimplyLovely'I mean, ahemHow do you do?That hot with the name Rossi? God sure loves your family and friends!
Anyways back to the subject at hand. It's the rider guys, c'mon! Bikes are tune to the riders inputs and reactions. Put two guys on the same bike (not at the same time, dayum!) and you get different outcomes. Different riders have different ways they like their stuff set up. Look at Rossi( not you sweetheart!) he changed teams and bikes and STILL dominated! Just my two percent of two cents.
