I'm fairly sure its just willy waving/measuring.

soon it will turn into power output per kilo, which is of more use, but potentially even less interest.

Quite a large range there, much more than I perhaps thought.
Going from Clubber on his SS @ 10:1
...down to Chucky on his DB Alpine @ 4.7:1

I'm kind of interested to see how it changes things.

If clubber gets on his full sus.....
Bike + Rider increase by 2%
Rider:Bike ratio reduces by 14%
Bike weight increases by 22%
