100bhp cap on the motorcycle.

I think we must be the only bikers not overly concerned with the 100bhp cap being rolled out in certain countries? It doesn't worry me much, that's for sure. Double the compression ratio has its advantages no? Lol :-)

Fortunately with diesels it's all about Torque, not horsepower! With most of them developing close to 100% of full Torque right off of idle, instead of having to wind up to 5,200 RPM to develop full horsepower, is where the motion goes to the wheels! That sure sounds like yet another stupid law written by idiots.
