[IBA270]

generally refers specifcally to inline 4 cylinder supersport bikes from Japan, or the 3 cylinder wonder from England. These machines have incredible horsepower delivered at high RPM’s. The also have very powerful brakes designed to haul the bike down from triple digit speeds lap after lap on a race track.

For two valved twins, especially those found on cruisers or standards, 600cc’s are very user friendly and offer 45-60 horsepower delivered at low RPM’s with a smooth power curve. They usually offer lower saddle heights as well. These cruisers are aimed directly at beginning and novice riders where the supersports decidedly are not.
