Depends on how much the motor is going to put out. The Hayabusa has it's primary ratio between the crank and clutch I believe, and it's something like 1.7:1. Then comes the transmission.

I know for a fact some people boost up to double the HP of the stock engine without even touching the transmission. So that is perhaps, 300+ ft lbs on the input shaft?

But then again, I see gears only as a necessary evil of gas engines.

Also: AC! Better than DC.
