    The most powerful motorcycle on the list of conforming model for the USA 2011 has 431.12 hp…..
    It is manufactured by BOSS HOSS http://www.bosshoss.com/videos/one/default.html


    The least powerful are tied with 20 different models from several different manufactures all made in china.
    These all have 2.72hp….do we really care? No I did not think so.


    Other interesting…or not…facts.

    The Royal Enfield Bullet EFI with a 499cc engine has the same 27.2 hp as the LifanLF400 with a carbureted 399cc. Both ready for the USA this year.

    Then there is a surprise single (less a sidecar) from URAL sold through Irbit MotorWorks of America, Inc, (unless there’s been a fire or something) and manufactured by Irbit Motorcycle Factory, Ltd Russian. It has a 749cc engine with 40.8hp. http://www.imz-ural.com/solo.aspl



    There are also two models listed under SAMCO corporation, with no OEM factory or OEM country listed they are a LX450E and also a Spark 500. The Spark 500 is EPA conforming and with SFI and the LX450E with a carburetor for 2011. http://www.asiawing.com/english/productlist.html


    498cc for the spark and that with 38.08 hp

    449cc for the LX450E and that with 40.8 hp

    "Real Men" meaning very experienced with old British bikes? The types who knows what Prince of Darkness and tickle the Amals means?

    Royal Enfield EFI is new design. They brand it "unit construction kit" or something like that. Real Men stuff is something what Real Men have, and if you don't have it, then Real Men can point & laugh at you and mock you

    Seriously, there are real bikes and kiddy bikes.


    Edit: And seriously, I hardly can get my eyes away of that IMZ Ural. It is as close to perfection as can be reasonably expected from a bike.

    Kiddy bikes being the ones that start, run, and don't leave parts behind?

    Well, but that's why they are kiddy bikes. Since kiddys can't repair bikes


    Edit: And if a bike drops something it was not needed in the first place
