I pressed "like" already before I even read the article.

In the 90s I had a 496 with a very flat torque curve and corresponding "low" hp.
My limitation were the tires.

No bike in the 90s could keep up from standstill to 160 mph. Not even a Duc 996 with power upgrade. A 900 cc Ninja with 160hp had NO chance. Well, it had no torque ;-)
