    Cycleworld posted on their website dyno run for t120. I think it pretty respectable. I feel the torque at 2700 rpm like it shows.

    Nice smooth profile with no dips or flat spots. The power produced is not very high to be fair but theres only so much needed to tramp on and the torque makes up for it especially as it comes in so low so strongly. I know some will not like this comparison but it is like a harley big twin (take a look at dyno charts on line). Having had a few big Harleys they do feel awesome when you open them up and in my book its a huge compliment to get that same sensation in a thorougly modern British bike like this. Before anyone starts i know they are completely different engines, different in almost every other way too, I am talking about the effortless free revving oomph when you open up. This is the main attraction to me with looks a very very close second. I was going to go down the route of the R9T but having tried one twice the engine didnt do it for me and suspension was harsh. Felt lumpy and a bit 'bottled up' . It was a lovely thing but the 120 knocks it into a cocked hat (for me).
