Still wrong. You cannot have either without the other! And as a manufacturer of rolling roads I do actually understand torque and power!
A66 caravan smash 593Mike G But your engine is a ~200Hp straight six, and has rather taller gearing than a more equivalently powerful unit would have - 2000rpm-10mph is fairly normal...
Wrong yet again. Power (like KW or any measure of power) is DIRECTLY comparable. In fact the opposite is true. The bike engine and box is actually both lighter AND more efficient in regards power losses in the respective transmissions. So it would actually go better with the lighter more efficient bike engine.
Wrong again. At 50 mph ROADSPEED the engine that gives 200 bhp at 10,000 rpm gives the same torque at the wheels as the 5000 rpm "bigger" lower reving motor. It does this precicely because it needs exactly half the gearing. The 2x extra reduction ratio doubles the torque available at the output shaft. So there isnt any difference! 200 bhp is always 200 bhp. The wheels or road dont care if it came from a tiny electric motor doing godzillions of revs or a big heavy diesel engine. Just like length, weight, voltage, etc POWER is DIRECTLY comparable. Torque isnt because you do not know the "rate" that the torque is produced and hence have no idea what gearing needs to be employed. Its only half the story. If you DO know the rate (or RPM) you can use the torque x rpm formula to give you a POWER figure. This can be compared directly!
