Hp and torque 4as measured on the Cycle City dynamometer, El Toro, CA, are corrected for temperature and barometric pressure.<br><br> 1 D 4 -mile times and mph, measured by Stalker radar, are corrected for altitiude/barometric pressure. Braking 60 30 is the best number obtained from as many tests as required to satisfy our test riders. Interpretation 4data is gathered at the same test site, but on different days, and can be influenced by temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, winds or the pavement condition.<br><br> As a result, small differences would be expected on different days. Significant performance differences that should be outside this normal variation are as follows, Acceleration: 0 360 mph: 0.2 sec.; 0 3100 mph: 0.3 sec.; 1 D 4 -mile: 0.3 sec. Top speed: 3 mph.; Braking 60 30 mph: 4 ft.; Rear wheel horsepower: 3 hp.; Torque: 2 lb.<br><br> ft. Ratings of individual bikes should only be compared within similar categories.
