Interesting thread. The crim is my dream upgrade bike (currently z6xr j1) and I like bikes with low RPM torque.

I would have thought that 1L engine would be very strong regardless of RPM. But maybe it's designed for track riding and high revs.

Which brings the question: What bike has the best low RPM torque but not harleys :) ... 2001 R1 ?

Wow , now that was an old debate.

Dont know about "best" Andi but the old ZRX tractor goes pretty well from down low. Hence the term Torque Plateau
