> > My stock Energica does 0-60 in 2.8s.

Should I be impressed? That's the same of a 1999 Yamaha R6 selling for less than 1000$ [0]

And the R6 can do it all day, you'll run out of tires before you run out of clutch and gas.

The Energica does it once and then it's panting and overheating.

And as always the point in motorsport is that every noob squid and every idiot is capable of going fast in a straight line, the light supersport bikes such as the Ducati and the Yamahas will smoke the Electric motorcycles in corners because the latter are heavy due to the batteries

Sounds like you've been had.

The R6 is an inline 4, 15500rpm red line, 68nm of torque. Fun bike, on a track or doing illegal speeds on the road. Rest of the time, it has no power.

The Enigica has 215nm of torque, about twice the 2022 R1.

The R6, the power is all up top, it’s gutless down low, you have to be up near the top in the rev range for it to go, engine screaming away. You’d also need to be pretty skilled at launching to get that 2.8s acceleration from it.

The Enigica you get all the torque from the get go, so much they have to limit it at the start. You just twist and it pulls from the off, no flat spots, it just keeps on pulling. It’s the torque that gives you the buzz, trying to hang on.

They are very different power deliveries and the Enigica makes a far better road bike (power wise) with all the torque rather than a high reving 600 il4 that you need to be near red line to get the most out of it. Even a 1000cc il4 with more torque, they don’t really get going until above 6,000rpm then your license is gone as you click in to second gear when making the most of the power band.

The Yamaha MT-09’s/10’a are so popular as they have high torque down low where it’s most practical for everyday riding.

With the introduction of ride by wire in the early 00s the electronics became king.

You can customize the throttle ride by wire system according to your preference so the torque area becomes much larger and spread out on the throttle when you move your wrist.

Once the problem of wrist sensitivity has been solved by ride by wire customization the high revs you mentioned are much more manageable.

And also you say engine screaming away like it’s a bad thing.

1) a 4 cylinder in line at 10000rpm is music for an enthusiast ears

2) It makes people aware that you are there , which is a feature not a bug, motorcycles are notoriously invisible for car and truck drivers

Sorry this is off topic but I'm trying to talk to you about Macrosolver because I created something similar. Can you email me at the email in my profile.
