Right. Look at the dyno graph from any middleweight 600. The peak power and torque are way up high in the rev range. This is not an issue for debate, this is fact.

Peak HP and peak torque on the Buell XB12R is at 6750 RPM.

That's at the very TOP of the rev range.

Fact.

Explain to me how a Buell XB12R has anything to do with an inline 4 middleweight.

Fact.
Buell XB12 makes 60 lbs/ft of torque at 2000rpm(75lbs/ft at 6000rpm)
Triumph 675 makes 35lbs/ft of troque at 3000rpm(47.0lbs/ft at 10400rpm)

Fact.

I'm glad someone caught that.

It is a bigger motor with HUGE pistons compared the the 675, of course it has more torque.

The torque curve of the 675 is very linear and builds steadily like most inlines.

The Buell curve is funny. It is close to peak at around 2700, then falls on it's face and doesn't get back into the 70's until around 5500.

FACT.

With the Buell, you're best served to keep it between 2000-2700 or between 5500-6750. Either way it is a narrow window.

OPINION.

There are NO flat spots when you're riding it, and it pulls hard from 2500-7100 in every gear.

FACT

The window is far from narrow, as the bike revs slower than a short stroke 4. The only problem I have with the power band is that it doesn't drop anywhere, so I find myself hitting the limiter from time to time, since it just pulls hard all the way to it..

FACT
