You are exactly right- that chart shows us all exactly what to buy.... a BMW1600!

Sorry, not sure what is confusing about the curve you attached or the one I have that appears closer to feeling right after putting so many miles on each brand bike discussed here.  Your curve shows the FJR putting out more torque at the RPM's that both bikes will see the most of when being ridden on the street by most riders.  The one I have attached does as well.

When I hit Mega Lottery I will buy at least 200 of the members of this forum each their own K16. Then we can do some SERIOUS independent testing. Until then, my narrow blue collar butt will be on something more modestly priced. 8)

I've got two airheads in the garage that will still be running when that 25K BMW techno ride is gathering dust in the back of the salvage yard.  8)

I think the key here is that for around town driving the FJ is better suited with it's torque curve than the C14
