Message: [QUOTE="gretch6364, post: 1194240, member: 77721"] Well I did a little research and it is estimated that an engine losses 3% of its power for every 1000 ft. So if I am riding at 10K feet, I will lose 30% of my power compared to riding as sea level....definitely sounds like I should get the bigger bike. I am a drummer and I think I have pretty good hand eye coordination so I should be able to not be super jerky with the throttle. 95% of my riding will occur at 5,000 feet of elevation or higher so I will be down 15% compared to sea level pretty much at all times.
