that's why I ride a vtwin. HP ain't shit w/o torque.

lol-i think u missed his point

no. a v twin will make a higher torque number at any given HP number.
A I4 will make a higher HP number at any given torque number (compared to said vtwin)

That was my point. I do know that they increase together.

What?

A v-twin makes more torque than the same displacement I-4 because it's port velocity is higher because in general they have less valve area/displacement.

so I forgot to put in the "same displacement" part...

You also left out that it's the rpm that determines how much hp x amount of torque makes, and if a twin and a four make the same torque at the same rpm, they're making the same hp.

It depends on if someone is getting some tuning actually done, or if they just want a piece of paper to wipe their ass with. For tuning, you want the rider sitting on the bike. The bigger key is that no matter which way you do it, standing or sitting, you need to be consistent. Some guys always sit. Some guys always stand. But whichever, you need to stick with one to keep your consistency.
