I have to chuckle on this one as I've pondered the same thing for years, it's why I have ventured down the route of trying to find the formulas etc etc and research on the net, which the article on the 135mph 695 mysteriously disappeared. I think Rusty also saw it but not sure on that one. I think someone must have found out it was rubbish
I have resigned myself to the fact that only small increases are possible as if you take a 650 twin bike engine, it'll produce more horsepower but less torque and we need torque no? But this again is pondering...Of course there must be room for improvement, but no one has ever tested the improvements in stages... and I have broken enough for now in the persuit of speed for now
I planned to put mine on a rolling road but wife wants conservatory so conservatory has stopped play. Over £90 a run on the local rolling road is spoiling play in a big way!
As for the fabled 70hp 595's etc, I've never seen any proof they ever got that, and have to chuckle at claims of doubleing horsepower as there never does seem to be any proof
Somehow I dont think the 500 club have anyone with figures to check either so we might be 'pioneers' [-/
Somehow the horsepower figures and sucking one's thumb comes to mind [-/
I take it you not working tomorrow [-/
