Hi All
I think it would be interesting to see what people's Power to Weight ratio's are; particularly since power is not everything when you shave off the weight.
For example; my car is ~1450Kg and has ~105KW, which gives a P/W ratio of 0.0440476729.
I've got a Stealth Fighter. It's 3KW and 34Kg. Giving a P/W ratio of 0.0536715342 which is better than my car, even though it has much much less power.
The Stealth Bomber is 4.5KW and 53Kg, which gives 0.0516461933.
You can calculate your P/W ratio here.

Anyone know how to embed this?
Of course, this will be highly variant with accessories/extra's you add to the bike, adding weight, and your weight. So for this poll just use the weight of the bike as you normally ride it with the power you would normally have available.
Cheers
*EDIT* Seems to be 2 ways to do this; Kw/Kg and Hp/Lb with each yielding different numbers. For this Poll we'll do it in hp/lb so convert it to horsepower and pounds first if calculating it yourself...or just use the site above since it seems to do it for you automatically anyway.
Cheers
