Most of the guys I know that run theirs at the track are always talking about rebuilding motors and stuff because they get wrung out on the straights and sit at high rpms for long periods of time, which I guess dirt bikes aren't meant to do.

Really though I don't know much about dirt bikes or tards.

Hyper: 398lbs/85hp = 4.6lbs per 1hp

Deso: 413lbs/92hp = 4.5lbs per 1hp

My KTM: 290lbs/60hp = 4.8lbs per 1hp

My GSXR: 359lbs/105hp = 3.4lbs per 1hp

A race ready KTM, my buddy's street legal 560SMR: 230lbs/55hp = 4.1lbs per 1hp.
Mine: 366 pounds, 132 HP = 2.77 lbs per hp
