    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I always see motorcycles like charts and graphs, when I see one I wonder what the power to weight ratio is, what the weight distribution is with and without rider, weight, torque, rotating mass, un-sprung weight, etc.

My question is, would anyone like to post what they have for their bike here along with stock numbers as a reference for people looking to achieve the same? or has anyone found a good site with this info already?
 
whats the point? every bike is different and every rider is different, no mods on a bike are exactly the same and every rider has a different riding style so why would you want a reference for something that wont work for everyone?
 
yeah? I mean if you weighed 150lbs, on my GS1100 which we'll guess has 100RWHP... weighs about 550 wet on its own. So thats 700 lbs... 100HP, for a 7:1 ratio... Now, *I* weigh 260... that goes up a bit...

Im pretty sure you could use x to represent the variability of a riders weight int he equation........
not sure why you would want to achieve a mere number in a build

it would be like reverese engineering almost
