Scooterotica

Seems there's a few that are obsessed by this which is something I know feck all about. Having just had my scoot dyno'd surely the read outs (max speed etc) you get in a windless, smooth environment have no bearing on road conditions.....

Worry about your torque

BHP it's the new knob size.

That poor fella in the corner on his own only has 8 bhp ........ [must be a Casa, snigger, snigger]

There's an interesting story about that.

You are correct Tim.

Tuners aside, apart from the hormonely deficient most people dyno their bikes to achieve a 'safe' set up so that their pride and joy doesn't sieze or hole a piston 10 miles down the road.

Torques and horse power are bonuses if you can achieve them with the first item.

Totally agree john

I think most scooterist should worry about MPG
Most plead poverty
Most still use the standard tank with high BHP engines

That's 'cause it's far cheaper to fill a standard tank.

As my brother says "I don't worry about the ever rising cost of fuel, I just put a fiver's worth in anyway".
