Subject: R: Power


Normally when you drive a motorized vehicle (also the @), the relation
between the motor rpm and the wheel rpm (speed of the bike) is given by the
drive in where the vehicle is in the test moment. Due to the speed you are
speaking about 130 km/h I imagine that you are speaking of 5th drive. The
power the motor is giving at the moment you drive at constant speed depends
on the "load to the motor" = slope of the road, weight on the bike, air
resistance, etc, etc, etc, ... since there are many variables, you may drive
your bike at 130 km/h and the motor power could be 15 HP (in a descendent
road) or maybe 60HP in a high slope (ascendent road). For sure the more the
power of the motor is giving to the rear wheel, the more the gas
consumption.
Hope it may help,
Gino
