Depends on model.

 

Eg. 03'999 has 125hp, 05'999R has 150hp.

 

And does top speed matter? I think what matters more is how well the bike handles when its not upright

[ducatitan]

Eh... how abt compression ratio?

 

How would one with 10:1 (MTS 1000DS) compare to a 11.5:1 (say... the KTM 950 supermoto)?

 

I think top speed does matter... depends on the rider's character...

The higher the compression ratio the more stressed are the working components... the shorter the engine life. Why would a enduro bike need so much horsepower? If you're looking for speed shouldn't you be looking for sports bike instead?

I fail to understand the logic for having a bike with an engine comparable to a GP bike's horsepower when the average man cannot control it! ... other than the prerogative to say 'My bike puts out XXX hp how much can yours do?'

most of the time is .. unable to control and under utilise..

I think the Ducati 1000DS engine (Multistrada, Monster, Supersport and Sport classics) is the best all round engine of all. It has all the torque where it matters most, cheaper maintenance and probably better reliability.

 

Plus, its air cooled, and I find air cooled Desmos sound better!

 

I'm still kinda intimidated by my bike's power, I seldom touch the "powerband", which is said to be around 8krpms and above? Even on the track or blasting on highways, I rarely rev above 7krpms.

Seems like we are not going to have any meet-up this month right.....there wasn't any turn-up at Holland Village yesterday....

lady, could you help organise?

i guess most of us would try to make it but need someone to give us a push, for a start need to remind all the regulars when and where to meet.

 

and sorry folks, for my work commitment is really too heavy and just had my HP memory wipe out lost many phone nos, damn. otherwise we should be meeting up tonite.

 

 

anyway could it still be done??? tonite ??? regulars you wanna to reply

[Guest nE0]

Eh, by right our meetups is every 2nd Saturday of the month right?

 

Who suggested we change it to Friday? Own up!

 

Well, tonight I can't make it, cos celebrating my friend's birthday. I thought you guys met up on Friday already?

 

Anyway, next week I'm free in the evenings, how bout a weekday meetup?

 

Danny > My rear tyre totally gone liao. No more high speed runs for me.

neo have u change your rubber???

 

just checked mine seems good. and the other day from pg totally drenched out after woodlands, did you stop?

[Guest nE0]

No leh, I got some rain at Lornie road all the way to AMK, but I just went slowly. Had to go to work, so must reach home nomather what.

 

And I havn't changed yet, I figured it will be still good for one more session. Easy session of course I'm still deciding between 014s (Great value for $), M1s (Better performance, $100 more)...

 

Someone is selling his 05'CBR600RR stock tyres, I dunno what model are those, should I get it? Its brand new, has maybe about 20metres mileage on them.
