The Factors Involved in Creating Acceleration

Awesome article at hondalife, addressing three things:

1) Power to Weight Ratio.
2) Effective Powerband.
3) Gearing and Torque Multiplication.

Basically just because someone posts an impressive "200hp", thats only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how fast they are, pretty simple but worth a read for young and old a like!
