That's all that matter to acceleration, hp and weight. Displacement is nowhere to be found in the equation of acceleration.

So if the buell had the same power to weight and beat a 600, well it did go faster, didn't it?

These guys were bragging that Buell was beating the Japanese inline four's at their on game and that's BS...the game/rules are being changed to accomodate the horsepower deprived Buells...they aren't beating anyone at "their own game" imho.

Well then let's just add weight to all 600's and take some more weight off of the Buells and add some weight to the literbikes and the Ducati 1098/1198's and throw them all in the same class...no need for seperate classes I guess if it's just all about power to weight ?

Yeah I know...that's rediculas...same as I feel about the Buells being in a class with 600's. Oh well we'll see what the future holds...maybe Buell will get competitive in the big boys class like Ducati and we won't be having this debate.
