Which road bike has the best power-to-weight ratio?

Meanwhile, back in the real world… :wink:

2004 R1: 158.9 bhp 450lbs = 205Kg wet, 421lbs = 191Kg dry

2004 ZX10R: 164.2 bhp 436lbs = 198Kg wet = 186Kg dry

So not only did it not have anything close to a 1:1 power to weight ratio, It wasn’t even the closest that year…

Those are actual measured figures done by Sportsrider magazine in the states:

Asking a manufacturer for weight & power figures and expecting an honest answer is like asking a woman her weight & how old she is… :Whistling:
