now if this isnt the appropriate section for this, im sorry. ive been grilling over this theory in my brain for awhile. i noticed that an engine that is double the size doesnt have double the hp, but usually close to double the torque. so i thought if you had a 500 single vs a 1000 twin for example, that maybe then the hp would be close to double with the torque difference being the same, just higher in the rpms. am i wrong? let me point out im comparing two engines with the same design and purpose. ive compared many different machines, and it seems torque peak numbers are similar if u say, compare a 600 twin to a 4 cylinder, but of course the higher revving 4 takes the hp crown. also, a 600 inline in any modern sportbike puts out about 44 ft-lbs of torque. a 1000 is like just over 70. 600 + 67% = 1002. 44 + 67% = 73. the differenece between the displacement and the power is near identical, and ive noticed that with many other examples as well (125 2 stroke makes half the torque of a 250 2 stroke etc). so all i guess im getting at is if anyone else has done cmparisons like this and came to trhe conclusion that double the displacemen = double the torque? i know this may sound dumb to some, but ive just been thinking this through when im bored:ban:
