Hi folks,

Have always wondered on what is the actual difference between a BULLET(cruiser!) and other standard motorbikes(Street/Sports/commuter/etc)!
It is not the difference in category or seating position that I am asking about. It is the engine spec. Especially when it comes to power delivery.

A Bullet Engine say e.g. a ThunderBird produces somewhere around 19 BHP with a 350cc engine. Whereas a bike like e.g. a Pulsar produces 20 odd BHP with a 220CC engine.

Want to understand what is so different in the Engine working for getting a low power output with a higher capacity engine!

I was trying to search for this piece of info in net as well in xbhp, could not find it hence this thread!
