That is a nice chart.

I have a hard time believing the 300ex claim because doesnt an SX make like 15srwhp?

[MTS]

Whats the math to do the power to weight ratio ?

[Tri-ZNate]

hp divided by weight

[MTS]

hp divided by weight

Ohhh...Duur..im an idiot thanks...looks like what im thinking of doing is gona be 0.216

It's been mentioned in the other threads that the 250R numbers are off. Even going by rear wheel hp there's no way it would lose 8hp from the crank to the rear wheels. Not to mention it's for the quad not the trike. Assuming a modest 35hp at the rear wheels, a 250R trike would be around 0.1202 which is good enough for second place on that list. An '87 T3 would be in the neighborhood of 0.1254

If you go by hp at the crank, the R comes in at 0.1340 and the T3 at 0.1423 if I have the weight right.

Edit: just for fun, lets say my trike with it's mods is kicking out a 45hp at the rear wheels (I'd say that's realistic) and lets say some of the lighter parts or simply removed parts took off 7 pounds. 0.1584 ain't too shabby. You can get an R with a stock jug up in the mid to upper 50's so lets say 57hp with the same weight. 0.2007

What's the stock hp on a 200x and 350x? 11 and 21? That would make the 200x 0.0390 but I don't know how much the 350x weighs.

i know whata mean,..
to spread the gap ever more the 87 zilla is 53-55hp, the 88-90 is 51-53, due to a larger tranfer ports and intake area

[Dammit!]

What do you suppose Kasey's 500R is kicking out? Let's assume 75hp (I think I heard it was more than that) and add 15 pounds. 0.2450

I'm bored. Anybody have some weight and hp figures for some of the crotch rockets?

My buddies 2005 yamaha R1:

180 horsepower at the crank.
Dry weight of 379 lbs.

power to weight =0.4749

[1984kxtTECATE]

My Tecate as of right now, 44 horsepower at the wheels and (oops ment to type a 6 instead of an 8, my bike has been lightned up and I have weighed it dry) 267lbs. Looks like I am at .1647
