Yeh pillion (kabab mein haddi) kahaan se aa gaya? ;) Just reading this thread in relation to the R15 and/or abt the rider/ridden relationship...
I've seen girls zoom off the green lights on Activas in a flash- wondering what they'll do on better powered motorcycles...

No, am not discounting the power to weight ratio. Nor am I discounting torque to weight ratio. I have not made the calculation, but going by what you said, 48 bhp / ton Vs 68 bhp / ton => a difference of ~20%. That is not small ! Now add to that the gearing. The first gear (out of 5) in a motorbike is shorter than the first gear (out of 2) in an auto gear scooter. All this means, a bike can pull much more easily than any autogear we have here. Especially in a pillion + incline / hump or quickly overtake scenario. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
