I read the article until I got to the part where the writer stated that as
speed doubles, the power required to overcome aerodynamics multiplies
by 4.
Wrong! The FORCE required multiplies by 4 (or the square of the factor
of increase of the speed), and the POWER required multiplies by a factor
of 8, or the cube of the factor of increase of the speed.
I wish motojournalists would learn the truth before writing misleading
stuff.
At that point, I gave up reading the article, because I had lost faith in
the writer.
