[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1460245, member: 19880"] Assuming you are referring to Honda Valkyrie (not Aston Martin) - 102 ft-lb of torque and 100 HP doesn't seem all that severe... FJR is only a couple ft-lb less torque and 40 HP more. (The Rune and re-introduced Valkyrie (2014-15) claimed another 20 Ft-lb and HP over the original...) I would suspect that it was more defective tire lamination as opposed to anything especially associated with engine power. I wonder what effective torque would be applied to a tire under emergency braking conditions on a clean, dry, warm asphalt surface. [/QUOTE]
