The starting basis was that “all Pantahs are created equal” that is to say, that the designers increased capacity, from the smallest 350 cc to the biggest 750 cc motor, keeping a number of factors similar, so that all motors, regardless of their capacity, are comparable in terms of fluid-dynamic and thermo-dynamic behaviour.

It’s very difficult to obtain a reliable “absolute” measure of power. A normal dyno bench will give you a “relative” measure, useful if you want to check the progress in the tuning of a certain motor. Too many parameters influence very strongly the measure of power and precision and constancy […]

Remember the Ducati Supermono? That outstanding racing single of the nineties that was only available as a racing bike? With a capacity of 550 cc it reached a top power of 75 HP at 10000 rpm: not bad for a big single! Its engine was practically that of an 888 […]
