Damn, I hate when I'm wrong. You're correct Joe! Torque is the product of a force and it's perpendicular distance from a point about which it causes rotation or torsion. In layman's terms:
Okay guys, you know when you get up in the morning and mother natural doing what she does provides us with two things. The urge to go to the bathroom and a....well....a hard-on! Now you walk to the bathroom but can't quite get that thing pointed down towards the toilet. So you push down and push down and YOUR LEGS KICK OUT FROM UNDERNEATH YOU!!! THAT'S TORQUE!!!! :^) Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kevinhawk.com Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750 OK, if you want to get technical Kevin, I'll have to correct you...Torque is Work (force x distance) and Power (force x distance divided by time), as in HP, is the rate of doing work. But yep, the GTS will eat any 600 in top gear roll-ons, not to mention just about anything shy of Hayabusas, ZX1200s and the open class Japanese sportbikes even though they make more peak HP...

However, torque is power. HP is the amount of work performed.
