Weight and H.P. WSB vs MotoGP

[usrodeo4]

What are the weight and HP characteristics of WSB's and MotoGP bikes?

[RIQUE]

I don't have exact numbers but MOTO GP Borderline 300HP, WSB 220 250HP.
Weight...with that power who cares.

[Wolielmo]

well... weight and distribution of it, is way more important for a race bike than 30 hp

[S1000RR ROB]

id suggest that moto gp bikes are around 240 and wsb bikes are around 210....

weight and distribution are a massive part in moto gp....the bikes are much lighter....

dont know if anyone ever noticed but dani pedrosas tech regularly picks the back of his bike up with one arm and swings it around......

u try do that with our rr.............

[1000RR]

And that's with Dani still on it

Sounds a little more realistic.
