Right so I thought long and hard about whether to post this question but I figured you guys need a laugh :biggrin:

For me logically a bigger bike (or car) should and usually is faster than a smaller bike......

OK so the question:

A 600cc Bike vs a 1000cc bike
Both running at 9000 rpm
600cc bike is going 180km/h but a 1000 cc bike gets 230km/h

What is the defining factor that makes the larger bike faster? I know the larger bike has more capacity, the oxygen & fuel mix is more and the combustion is larger and stronger. But if both bikes pistons are bobbing up 'n down at 9000 rpm, sending the energy to the wheels at 9000 rpm. Why is the bigger bike faster.

Or am I having a complete blonde day and I'm missing the point? Or does it not work the way I've described?

Give it to me lads  :imaposer:
