Don't electric motors lose power and torque the faster they rev? I always understood it as a different power curve (albeit one that starts at 100% torque at 0rpm) meaning it too could benefit from gears.

Why do the curves cross at around 1200 rpm?

Peak torque and HP aren't at the same RPM?

Looking about and I can't find it - what was that remake/concept bike someone posted in here within the last few months that had the really curvy tail light people were a bit divided on?

I remember hating the tail of the CB1100 but they did keep it true to the ugly-as-sin tail from the 80s.

nsaP posted:Why do the curves cross at around 1200 rpm? (ft-lb * RPM) / 5,252 = horsepower just as (Nm * RPM) / 9,549 = kilowatts So they don't cross as such, it's that the graph is presented that way. Power measured here is a function of torque by RPM. That electric motor creates its highest torque down low, the torque dies off as the RPM increases. Horsepower in that function increases until it hits a point where the torque has reduced enough the horsepower will follow the torque down from then on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Calculating_power AncientTV posted:Peak torque and HP aren't at the same RPM? They usually aren't. I actually can't think of an example where I've ever seen that to be the case.

Yeah that's what I was curious of, I didn't notice that the scales were so far off each other.

Threw on my 1pcs and went for a bit of a ride to break it in. Christ I feel like a cock off the bike when I'm in it.

I can upgrade whenever I want, I just need to get some time in a bigger bike before I take my QRide. Dad and I went out the other day and I was on his VF1000F-II, I'll probably upgrade in a month or two if I can find a bike by then.

Spiffness posted:Everything you said is true but according to Z3n (who's room mate bought one) wheelies just aren't going to happen. I can confirm the fool is otherwise capable of pulling a wheelie. This guy's got it worked out, but I don't know about pulling it off on the heavier Empulse model. Should have released the Engage first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9VaVS5Jqrg

HNasty posted:Today was the first warm day we've had in the DC area so I went for a ride with a fellow Duc bro. We met at the trendiest of coffee shops and then went home. Here are some pics for you peasants to enjoy. I saw a sport classic with (I think) Zard mufflers last summer and the exhaust noise was plain deafening. How do you manage to ride that all day?

I misposted this earlier: Saw this out and about today. A Morgan I think? He stalled on the hill then gunned it on takeoff.

clutchpuck posted:Are those DOT-certified turbans? No, but they are road-legal in the UK - Sikhs are specifically exempt from helmet laws. Interestingly if the turban is wrapped fairly loose and the wearers hair is in good condition the impact protection is actually equivalent to a CE-marked helmet (but doesn't cover enough of the head or give enough abrasion resistance to be granted CE approval) if it were a helmet.

I was just presenting my answer as a question because I wasn't sure if that's what nsaP was asking about specifically. I saw something the other day that confused me:  Aren't those resevoir socks meant to keep the bouncing fluid in the front brake from being a distraction? Or are they for leaks? Either way, bike was dumb. floridabike.jpg

The reservoir sock is used to protect the weak plastic of the reservoir from the sun. It's amusing that he covered the rear one (which doesn't need it) but ignored the front. I think he thinks it's a style thing.

I can see how that was confusing, but those were two different bikes. Seeing stupid poo poo like that is a daily occurrence for me, so I just casually snap pictures whenever I see something especially dumb.

Ola posted:Oh poo poo. Look what BMW just did to my future credit rating. 2014 R1200R Is this real? Why does it have a conventional fork and a suspiciously ducati looking headlight? edit: there's no way that's an actual production BMW bike when it has almost none of their styling cues, wavy front rotors, circular conventional headlight etc.

Is that an "artist's conception"? I am not seeing their new liquid cooled wet clutch downdraft engine, a telelever setup on the front, nor the cross-pipe or gigantic catalyzer that should be there.
