They can build up to 450. Assuming worker shortage and companies still playing the covid game. Very profitable I'll bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just make shit up? Sound insulation, rofl. I'll give you a hint at full rpm you are hearing the intake noise dominate, not even the exhaust. Yes they could design a different helmholtz resonance in the intake or pipe but that is not "sound insulation". Hint #2, to stop sound you need mass. 5 hours ago, ZR6000RR said: Also what elevation were they comparing too? A larger engine will have advantages in elevation. Comparing the poo 650 to the Cat at basically sea level, I thought the Cat more than held it's own. I rode them back to back pretty much. Wrong....as usual. Losses aren't determined by engine size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Well cat has lowest mass in class and the most centralized so that would explain the noise. Because science.

Centralized and low sled weight are unrelated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were so worried about their reliability reputation, the first Fuji was an exact clone of the 372, other than a tin fan housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
