The amount of HP that today's 600 SS make is amazing! However, torque is power. HP is the amount of work performed. Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kevinhawk.com Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750
RSRBOB talks about power... As far as power, being 9 years old now, it has less power than the 600 cc sport bikes of today, which are also lighter. For those of you about to question this, most 600 sport bikes on a dyno joke dyno read around 100 hp, where the gts is less, anywhere between 80 and the low 90s depending on who you talk to. The 600s have a tremendosus HP to weight advantage. One thing the GTS has, which does help a newer rider is more torque at lower RPMS. The new 600s have little torque compared to the GTS. Also note that they wind to 15,500 RPM redlines to make that HP. RSRBOB
