Ok, i've tried to get the power figures of the current thumpers out there but it's not that accessible. This is for interest's sake only. Even having those figures one would have to take the weight and gearing into account and I don't know what else. So, in what order would you say (should you know more than me) would the following bikes cross the finish line (400m) from standstill? (stock standard)

Yamaha XT 660
Honda XL 650R/XR 650R
Kawasaki KLR 650
Suzuki DR650
KTM 690 (displacement is 650 cc, right?)


Maybe you'd like to add that older thumpers (maybe for example the old yamaha TT 600) are faster than the new ones - your welcome to add your comment
