This is one argument I never get. I mean I look at it this way. Would you say "oh I can't get that Mustang because I'm too big for it, I weight 250+ and it won't be enough power for me, so I'll have to get a Viper that way the power to weight ratio is about the same" Come on!!! I'm 200 and have been all the way up to 227. And know damn good and well that the weight difference would not have made me want to go up to a 1000 ( even know I have one and am trying to sell it). Unless your pushing these bike within a inch of their capibilities then it doesn't matter.
I mean I guess if you wanted to you could go down to %'s But even still the big guys that say "I have to have a Busa or ZX12 because I'm b*****" Makes no sense because if you get down to it. Your saving like one pound per horse power by going with a 12 or a Busa. Here is what I mean. 533lbs bike (sport rider mag dry weight for Busa since they are the favorite one for big guys) X 300lbs guy divided by 160HP gives you 5.2 lbs per HP or A 04 636 (mine) at 389 dry (sportrider) X 300 lbs guy divided by 113HP give you 6.2 lbs per HP. So ONE STINKING POUND????? Come on!!!!!! I guess you should have bought that Viper huh??? Make any sense now??
Shit it doesn't matter if you give up 50 lbs. Hayden was running .5 MPH slower than Pedrosa down the straight this weekend and that was on 250HP machines. Now if you just said "hey I'm a big guy and I am used to being the biggest and that's why I buy the biggest baddest thing out there" I could understand honesty. But then again I guess that means I must love my 1000 cause I was 227 at about 7% body fat. So I was pretty big. Better get the Viper too huh?? Ego's crack me up.
