Come and find me at Newark, I'll take you up the road for a quick blast - then you'll be able to make the right decision

love my bec for track, cheap to run and engines are cheap and bullet proof, but when it comes to road use, i prefer my caterham (duratec).
torque is a must on road use IMHO.
cheers

Then get a quick run up the road in Dave's (LocoR1) R1 Locost. That'll definitely seal the deal

As I said earlier, try a blast in MadTeg's THEN make a decision.

Yeah, be choosy which cec you go out in, there might be a FEW that can rival a bec. Or get a trip out in ANY bec.....

I would have thought that with duratec's and the like being so cheap now, along with big BMW lumps all cheaply and easily of making good usable
power its only a matter of time till you need a good BEC to rival most CEC's
I think it was a top GP rider who coined the phrase 'BHP sells cars, torque wins races'.

There seems to be a misconception that bike engines lack torque due to figures being quoted at the crank but what you really need to consider, is that
bike engines have a torque multiplier in the form of a primary reduction gear. This makes it difficult to compare CEC/BEC torque. BEC torque actually
isn't as low as it would first appear
There is no doubt that some CEC's are quicker than BEC's but it's not just about going fast in a straight line. IMHO bike engines
give you the best overall performance for your £ straight out of the box.
