NSR125 ~26BHP@132kg = 5.08
RS125 ~28BHP@115kg = 4.10
CBR400 33BHP@179kg = 5.42
ZXR400 33BHP@159kg = 4.82
VFR400 33BHP@170kg = 5.15

I'm not sure on the manufacture years of these but these are the weight figures I found from the web

Edit: I knew the NSRs were heavier than that

Just remember, that lot's dry weight...

Tbh, those times don't really matter, jsut so long as it'll hit 60 and get out of trouble when you need it to, you're sorted (which all of those bikes will do anyway.

You can look the details up on www.bikez.com and then work out power to weight figures.

[baskie]

yeh that website is ideal, like got all diff bikes pics, load of info. its cracking even reviews. good good website

very very good

But its a power to weight ratio.......not a weight to power ratio

and one thing that many overlook is the power to weight ratio limit that accompanies the 33bhp limit

extract from dvla website

25kW (33bhp) and a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW/kg

.......which is not much help as its in kw/kg

thanks guys.

Does anyone have those figures in bhp/ton.

My car is 110 bhp/ton so i'm hoping some of those bikes would be more than that. With so little weight they must be!

Karma to all!

There's 907.18 kg in a ton, so that now gives us:

NSR125 ~26BHP@132kg = 172.37 bhp/ton
RS125 ~28BHP@115kg = 217.12 bhp/ton
CBR400 33BHP@179kg = 163.29 bhp/ton
ZXR400 33BHP@159kg = 181.44 bhp/ton
VFR400 33BHP@170kg = 172.37 bhp/ton

All quite a bit more than your car then

cheers Fuzz.

From my searches on Poogle, the weight for the RS has come up as 114kg on some sites and 140kg on others.

Is 114kg the most accurate?

cheers

probably the most optimistic, not accurate

[jjonth]

Id say maybe 114kg dry. 140kg with all the oils and a full tank maybe???
Remember there is the gearing to consider too so a 400 might be geared for 130mph or whatever and the RS125 is geared for about 95mph, you can easily change it, but just thought you should know.

70bhp out of an RD engine? the must have been played about with a fair bit!

RGV's/RS's give about the same power: weight ratio as that Mito when standard. You can get up to 0.75bhp/kg out of them when their played about with but that makes them liable to pop at any moment

The only road legal bikes to get much better than that are those custom made RS500's and RGV500's
