What does it do?
The Performance Analyzer calculates, from the technical data of a motorcycle, how it
accelerates in every gear and where the engine delivers its power and torque.
All calculations run directly in your browser, so every change is visible immediately.
How does it work?
- Pick a motorcycle. Every model in the catalog
has its own page, filled with its factory data.
- Choose a chart. The acceleration chart shows the tractive force per gear
against speed, with the calculated 0–100 km/h, quarter mile and top speed; the power/torque chart shows
the engine curve against rpm; the gearing chart shows the speed per rpm in every gear: where the rpm
drops when you shift up, and whether top gear reaches the top speed.
- Change the settings. Adjust rider weight, sprockets, gear ratios, tire size,
aerodynamics or launch rpm in the sidebar. The chart is redrawn on every change.
- Compare. Modified runs are drawn next to the original, so you can see
exactly what your change gains or costs. Or put up to 4 motorcycles side by side
on the compare page, with their charts and values.
Units can be switched between SI (km/h, kW, Nm) and US (mph, hp, lb-ft) at any time.

Why an account?
An account is free. With it you can:
- Build your own garage:
- copy motorcycles from the catalog
- add one that isn't in it
- compare them with each other or with the catalog
- share your charts or save them as PDF
- Change the specifications:
- engine
- gearing
- clutch
- tires and weight
- enter measured times and top speed, and match the air resistance to the top speed
- add torque curves from maximum power and torque, or from a table of values, to motorcycles
and keep your changes.
- Share: send a read-only chart with a link.
- Join the riders: a public profile with your motorcycles, descriptions and photos, and see
those of other riders.
- Set your preferences: your weight, units and theme.
