So how come Human hasn't mentioned this bad boy yet?
I was flipping through my latest copy of Superbike (May 2002) and noticed that they devoted a few pages to it. What I'm unsure of is the numbers though, they quote 118hp and 57lb/s of torque.. I'm assuming this is not at the wheel, as that would be a HUGE leap in power for a small leap in displacement..
that is crank numbers. dunno why they went to 636, I think it was for a bit more torque, not power, cause the of the 100hp limit on motorcycles in some european countries.... that's why I doubt we'll see manfauctuers get more hp outta there 600s even though they can if they wanted to....
And that is the main reason I believe that the VFR is only making 100hp because of the european market.
I like the part in the article where they state something like "If you cant win, cheat" :laughing it still wont be enough though, it IS still a kawi after all
