Do you like torque

Alrighty then we is both wrong as it don't really convert to 2.6 or 2.7. Wit this kind of of power to wt ratio and blower response rise, one must be very alert on pulling out to pass and using much throttle while leaned a little just to swing out of lane. I had an idea what I'm in for and wondered if I'm still up for it, then reviewed my year with just plain Jane Trixie to realize, oh yeah. Digital traction control is how I see it.

Huh? Now you are off by more than an order of magnitude. :oops:

Where do you come up with these numbers? No answer needed.
 
I got to do the final tune on the Ecosse this afternoon. It will be crated tomorrow. I did one dyno pull but it did not graph correctly because the ignition pickup didn't stay closed over the huge 12mm plug wires. Don recorded a short video of me risking my life on the thing at full throttle. I opened it up in 4th gear at 40 mph and then hit the rev limiter hard in 5th and then hit 6th for a few moments till the rev limiter stopped it at 160 mph. This was done with a 600 lb simulated load and since my brake speed becomes unsafe at about 150 , I was sweating a bit and decided I would quit while we were ahead. Sorry about not getting a dyno strip but suffice it to say it is a vertical line straight up to 200 HP at the rev limiter . The bike and I both lived. Jim

We appreciate your risk taking and hope this beast's owners do too. I lack race experience but not hot rod power craft s0 your demo here flashed me back to my P!! that could run through lower gears so fast it was hard to snick next one before over running the rpm. Their snap down video of a mind-less take off replays in my mind on/off this last couple weeks and will again anytime I feel frisky on more power than traction on tap. Hope we see some more of it in cycle magazines with credits to the man who tamed it.
