the VTX 1800 (1.8) has 110 hp and 118 lbs/ft of torque at less than 4000 rpms.
My zx12R (1.2) has 190 hp (with ram air, at speed) and 160hp static, with about 120 lbs/ft of torque at about 10,000 rpm.
both get 40mpg or so in the bike frames that hold them. The current market leader for torque is the Triumph Rocket 3, which is about 150lbs ft of torque or so with 2.2 liters of beautiful artwork engine. The new Raider is a 2.2 liter as well.

Everything goes up. a Quart of oil has not gone up for business reasons, I'm sure. I remember $1 quarts of Castrol, and it's now $4 to $6 a quart. But before this whole thing went to shit, I firmly believe in HIGH QUALITY lubricants, and now I'm happy to spend $20 for a quart of Redline, or $80 for a quart of Agip.
Yamaha Raider is 113 cubic inch 1850 cc
Lmao. Yeah i like the raider but it doesn't come close to out performing my bike.
I pay around 3.85 a gallon for mid-grade, and it's E10 (because I can't get anything else here.) It fucking sucks, and it's fucking up my engine.
Next time I fill up, I'll take a picture of the price-sign. What's worse, is that the gasoline price that AAFES pays, is set by treaty. So it doesn't fluctuate. They get it right from the refineries at set prices. THEN the motherfuckers charge us OVER the US DoE average. And the pumps aren't trade-legal, so I get less than I pay for most of the time. Bitter? Nah.

i work at a gas station, and pretty much only two things make the price of fuel go down:
1. wal-mart drops their price.
2. people buy less fuel.
that's it. everyone's trying to make the most profit they can.
also, jets and cruise ships and freighters and trains make the most pollution

we're still far below canada.... so i guess that's a plus.
but, we have broken katrina averages
rumour has it, truckers are going on strike april 1st. i'm curious to see what this does.
Oh, it also doesn't help that the fed cut the dollar again, so technically, we still have $2 gas.... it's just that our dollar is worth 20 cents now

You'll have to pedal about 30 miles to get one mile out of the car.So when is an electric car feasible for the everyday consumer?
Get a stationary bike to charge it.

I fail to see where the fed "cut the dollar" by lowering interest rates.

FALCON PUNCH!!!
The only difference being a copious amount of marijuana. From what to what is still up for speculation.
