After a summer of feeling smug about how a tiny 250cc bike has 90% of the performance of a much larger bike, Brian brought me down to earth by pointing out that a 250 doing 16000rpm is the same as a 500 doing 8000rpm, is the same as a 1 litre doing 4000rpm.

Dammit, I think he's right. I still get 70mpg though.
