Hosepower basicaly measures how fast x weight can be moved over x distance, i cant remember the exact numbers.
Torque is the turning force of the engine, torque is used in calculating HP, lotsa torque + lotsa rev's = lotsa HP.
Torque is important because a torquey engine will have lotsa power from low revs, so itll pull hard from anywhere, where as an engine that produces its power by reving high will not pull untill you get to very high revs.
Actually, you shouldn't look at the power ... Look at the TORQUE. That's more important than hp ... At acceleration that is. Higher hp results in higher top speed (and aerodynamics, weight, ... etc of course)
im not explaining it through a youtube post but hp is what matters, torque is how hard the engine can turn, hp is how hard the engine can turn the wheel
ha buddy! u are comparing the uncomparable, just because R3 is fast... wrong line, id say.. u love bikes? great! buy one... just dont try do depreciate the goddess of all bikes... 2300. no other point to argue
maybe the top sport ones are.. but thats not the point... the TORQUE is humungous! huge! try it, then try acceling a sport one... on the ROCKET 3, u only have to accel and hold! sport bikes wil flip back! THUS, Ive left many sport bikers behind, on riding skills... sport ones are UNCONFORTABLE, and have another purposo... CIRCUITS! this one, is 4 leisure... relaxation... and SPECIALLY, being in the TOP! take care
hahahah/!!! im not sure.. or its just marketing issue... to make proffit, as the 1st made motor, had to be tamed down, as the power was so, that the tyre spun aroun the wheel!! so no need to put more parts... just let the beast go out!
nevertheless, i sold it out as im to stupid to have it! broke my leg!
No, they're not. They may have, in the coming years, a 1600cc parallel twin called the Thunderbird, though.
TTS Performance in the UK makes a supercharger kit for the R3s, using a Rotrex super. Expensive, but 280+whp (with a charge air cooler) makes it worthwhile!
147lb ft of torque at a lazy 2,500rpm! Triumph claims that the Rocket 3 would out-accelerate a Yamaha R1 to 100mph and sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds!
The Rocket 3 produces more torque at idle than a Honda FireBlade at its 8,500rpm peak!
im gonna get a triumph when im older...havent got a license yet but the speedster and rocket and america look so sweet! can anyone tell me if the rocket is heavy?? cuz im not that strong (T_T)
OMFG :O !!!
