“3 lb/hp of modern 1000cc bikes.”

Not to mention the BMW S1000RR is 403 pounds and 199hp is 2 lb/hp(!) at a cost of only $20,000.

Well, I was adding in the weight of the rider, just to be accurate as it is a far more significant part of the total.

I forget what that MOTOGP replica Ducati released a while back was, but it was insane. Price and performance. Too bad I am not so rich and 69, would love to ride one just once.
