My sig, of course. 129kg dry (allegedly), so 155 wet is positively barge-like!

Tell us what the real rev limiters are, tell us what the real wet weight is, why do we want to know how light you can get the bike when its unridable in that state. Give is a curb side weight ready to ride.

Agree about the power, what matters most is the wheel power, however it is possible to measure power at the crank - use an engine dyno! ;)

Are you sure there is such a thing? I mean how are you going to take the drive off of the crank without any loss from the gear box? Bah. Not to worry. :rolleyes:

Well, it exists for cars, so I assumed (maybe wrongly! :D) it existed for bikes too - same principle and possibly even same machine. I don't know any details though, whether it uses a gearbox, etc.
