Torque vs Horsepower.

Do a google on it and learn, lots of good articles out there.

Well, idle is 1100, I'm told its very difficult to get a read much below 2200, but think about it, when you start off the line, its way less than a second before you are above 2000

If your bike is at idle, say 900 rpms, pull the clutch, the engine will stall out. You need higher than idle rpms just to get the bike moving. If you have a tach on your bike you could see what it takes. When I had my bike dyno'd, it was WOT most of the run.You're at 2500 rpms before you know it.
