Engine Types: 1 = single, I = inline, V = Vee, O = opposed, number (1, 2 etc.) indicates no. of cylinders. n/a: not available. Hp and torque: as measured on the Cycle
City and Spectrum Motorsports dynamometers, Irvine, CA, corrected for temperature and barometric pressure. 1/4-mile times and mph, measured by Stalker radar,
are corrected for altitude and barometric pressure. Braking 600 is the best number obtained from as many tests as required to satisfy our test riders. Interpretation:
data are gathered at the same test site, but on different days, and can be influenced by temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, winds or the pavement condition.
As a result, small differences would be expected on different days. Significant performance differences outside this normal variation are as follows: Acceleration:
060 mph: 0.2 sec.; 0100 mph: 0.3 sec.; quarter-mile: 0.3 sec. Top speed: 3 mph.; Braking 600 mph: 4'; Rear wheel horsepower: 3 hp.; Torque: 2 lb./ft. Bolded
numbers are the best and worst in each performance category. Ratings of individual bikes should only be compared within similar categories.
