Drive train losses CANNOT be a constant - lotsa older bikes came out over the years with less than 10 bhp engine, and if they lost as much as the bigger bangers then there would be nothing left !! Commandos claimed 60 bhp, and allowing for marketing claims, put out 42-45 hp at the rear wheel. I have a little Villiers with a claimed 3 hp - if it lost 10 hp in the drivetrain, you'd be going backwards ??P.S. Do belt drives get more to the back wheel than chain, or vice versa ?
