|  1/4 Mile... How fast would a Gixxer 600 do in the 1/4? With an average size rider. Also, what is the hp rating on a 600, 750 & 1100? Mike

| I'm thankful for these numbers! Statistics like these will keep me from trying to become a statistic out on the 101.

These are not the average cars on the road, for every Accord how many civics are sold ? For every Altima or Maxima how many Sentras are sold. Low end, less powerfull cars are what the majority of people are buying.

Most cars here are 4 cylinder, and the average displacement is 1.6 or 1.8 liters and average around 100hp. Small "city" cars (Smart, Ford Ka, Opel Corsa, Renault Twingo, Mazda 121, Honda Civic, Fiat Uno/Panda, etc.) sometimes have a 1.2 or 1.3 liter engine with about 50hp. A "family" car (Audi A6, BMW 5-series, etc.) will usually have a 6-cylinder, 2.5 liter engine and up to 200 hp. I would agree with Bob, the small models outnumber the power-cars, so the average car IN EUROPE does have less than 100hp. The people who drive 8 or more cylinders (or more than 200 hp) are a rare exception, considering the current gas price of about $4.75 a gallon.

 | the best selling cars are honda accord, toyota camry, and ford taurus. All of those start around 140 hp. Now, trucks outsell all cars here in the U.S. (it's a phenomenon according to the rest of the world). The base model ranger or colorado(s10) is around 140 also. The freakin mazda 3 starts with like 120! That's mazda's bread and butter car, along with the 6 which is like 140 with that cheap 4 cylinder.
