Sorry, I just don't get this. F1 motors have been over 300 hp/l for years now. Surely the power is there if required, it's just that it needs to be usable? Or...
Drivability is the key. The powerband of a F1 is very small. The Aprilia Cube was basically a part of a V10 Cosworth F1 engine and we know that that bike was...
I think a lot of it is about control. F1 seems to be able to get away with very narrow powerbands and lightswitch throttles. Bikes need a much wider spread and...
I'm sure this must be right, but why do some of them struggle to reach even 200 hp? I read somewhere that KR's own V5 only managed about 170. OK, above a...
