does anyone have any idea, of the zxr bhp per ton figures,i was just wonderin,it would be interestin to compare it to other bikes more modern!

if your zxr had 69 bhp and weighed 145 kg,thats being realistic i think.after some work obviously.

can any one work that out? :smt017

1000 / 145 = 6.89655172

6.89655172 x 69 = 475.862069

475bhp/ton

more realistically,

1000 / 180 = 5.55555556

5.55555556 x 65 = 361.111111

361bhp/ton

dont forget to add rider weight for anything approaching a meaningful real world number

1000 / 260 = 3.84615385

3.84615385 x 65 = 250

250bhp/ton
