I found various power and torque curves for the alta, with a 250F bike plotted on same graph for comparison.  The ones I found were radically different, so obviously something is wrong, or maybe all of them are wrong. Is there an actual graph from Alta or another reliable source.   I would like to compare to the more trail bikes also, like DRZ400, Klx250.

I have no torque curve to offer but own a honda crf250 Rally and have owned many DRZ400's, I can say that my Redshift Super Moto with taller gearing pulls way, waaaay harder than my DRZ 400's and especially my anemic Rally 250.  I just sold my 17 Duke 690 and feel like the Redshift is more comparable to it, the Duke would kill it on top speed though.

Just caught the episode, man either they hired stunt double or Matt LeBlanc really rips on dirtbikes! Great exposure. The rest of it was kind of meh. Really with Ari and Zac Courts had their own Top Gear style show.

Apparantly Matt can rip. He’s been seen at a few trackdays around here.
