For the longest time i used to drive a Suzuki 750 GHN "Water Buffalo", heavily customized with a Rickman construction-set frame and a 6-gear gearbox. It was one of the big (3cyl., 750ccm) two-strokes which ruled the streets in the eighties. After tuning it was worth 145hp (back then this was next to unlimited) and because of the water cooling (hence the nickname) the chance of a piston jamming was next to nil. i remember this was quite different with the parallel Kawasaki model, the H1, which had an air-cooled motor of the same dimension. The middle cylinder regularly had thermic problems and the piston seizures quite regular.

About 6 years back i was >< that far away of purchasing one of the then-new Suzuki GSX1300-R, the Hayabuza. There is an NOx option with some additional customizing sold by a tuner here which claims to boost the power to roughly 240hp and the top speed to ~320km/h (~200mph). They claim to do away with the miles-long acceleration phase to get this big bike past the 300km/h barrier. Everything was set already, but my daughter kept me from buying it. Maybe i missed some fun but it sure kept her happy - and since a year or so i can imagine myself on something less fast and more comfortable - i guess i am getting old and senile now. ;-))

frexpl

frexp(3M)						  Mathematical Library Functions						 frexp(3M)

NAME

       frexp, frexpf, frexpl - extract mantissa and exponent from a floating-point number

SYNOPSIS

       c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double frexp(double num, int *exp);

       float frexpf(float num, int *exp);

       long double frexpl(long double num, int *exp);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions break a floating-point number into a normalized fraction and an integral power of 2. They store the integer exponent in the
       int object pointed to by exp.

RETURN VALUES

       For finite arguments, these functions return the value x, such that x is a double with magnitude in the interval [1/2, 1)  or  0,  and  num
       equals x times 2 raised to the power *exp.

       If num is NaN, NaN is returned and the value of *exp is unspecified.

       If num is +- 0, +- 0 is returned and the value of *exp is 0.

       If num is +-Inf, num is returned and the value of *exp is unspecified.
