Default Moto racing info on specs and stuff?

Im a casual fan of the road racing for bikes and I dont know much about all these different kinds of series.

I want to know how much HP, torque and weight do Moto GP, 250, 125, Superbike, supersport, etc have.

what are the similarities and differences?

To start off, MotoGp bikes average around 250hp, AMA Superbikes are ~210hp, WSBK are a little less than AMA SBK. No idea on weights and tq will be really hard to come by. Luke can probably chime in with 125 and 250 specs.

Not sure about the 2 stroke numbers but I can tell you they are still damn fast, not too far off the pace from the premier class. A stock nsr250 has about 45hp and weighs only 280lbs and that thing can fly.

They've all got two wheels.

Superbikes are based on the big bikes (literbikes) whereas the Supersports are based on the middleweights. MotoGP bikes are not allowed to be based on any production bikes.

He doesn't have to do it. A mechanic holds the bike until he's ready to zip off. Or, they're invisible training wheels.
