 Power/weight ratio
The power to weight ratio calculates the the weight of engines/vehicles in kg per kW of engine performance. Here it is decided, how many kgs each kW has to move. For other vehicles unattainable, the Formula-1
engine rules with a top power/weight ratio of almost 0,15 kg/kW engine- (see picture) and approx. 0,9 kg/kW vehicle-power/weight ratio. Below, the data for standard motorcycles (net weight with a full tank) can be seen:
| 2007 | Yamaha YZF-R1 | 1,59 kg/kW (1,17 kg/PS) |
| 2008 | Suzuki GSX-R 1000 | 1,56 kg/kW (1,15 kg/PS) |
| 2008 | Honda Fireblade | 1,52 kg/kW (1,12 kg/PS) |
| 2008 | Kawasaski Ninja ZX-10R | 1,51 kg/kW (1,11 kg/PS) |
