Bike engines have no torque???!!!!
For anyone that thinks bike engines have no torque take a look at the picture below
 
Twisted Axle
This is what a Kawasaki ZX10 (approx 137bhp & 79ft/lbs) will do to a 30mm dia 6mm thick chunk of steel if you get a bit over aggressive with the
take offs! Up until last week this was one of my axles on which the sprocket drive is located, I will admit to giving it quite a bit of stick recently
but when it finally broke I was being gentle with it. If you look at the keyway you will see it has twisted along its length, fortunately I don't
need the keyway so its replacement is of uniform thickness & section & hence substantially stronger.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

You copy and pasted the url of the picture from the address bar at the top - That won't work - If you look at the bottom there is part of the
correct url with image tages either side of it (Where it says Forum Code )
You then need to add http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk to the start of the address after the first [img]
i.e
[ i m g]http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/twisted axle.JPG[/i m g]
I've put a space between the letters in [IMG] otherwise it would display the picture not show you an example of the url you need to copy and
paste!!
HTH
Cheers

Obviously, you haven't learned not to destroy driveshafts though!

Bike engines may have low torque at the crank, but they have something a car engine does not..
Primary Reduction.
A very effective torque multiplier
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

...and high revs too, which means you can further gear it down and multiply it up

Torque multiplication should be on the GCSE Maths syllabus!
