Italian term or phrase: entrare in coppia
"Non è la sportiva per giovani in cerca di prestazioni assolute. Non è la moto con cui si può impennare facilmente quando entra in coppia il quattro cilindri, che possiede una potenza che il più delle volte rimane inutilizzata. La creatura di Hamamatsu è una motocicletta matura, che sa muoversi tranquillamente anche nel traffico"

to reach the maximum torque
Explanation:
Per muoversi bisogna ovviamente sfruttare la coppia motrice.
La coppia di un motore è una curva crescente, che tuttavia al massimo deu giri tende a diminuire. Io qui intendo che si faccia riferimento al massimo valore della coppia disponibile

Also "peak-torque point" - See below

Now in the bike story, we introduce the term Torque.

Torque is nothing but work.

And bhp = torque X rpm.

This does not conflict with the above equations since rpm is equivalent to (1/time).

Now when we say that say shogun puts out 13.8 bhp@8500rpm, what we mean is that the maximum bhp shogun puts out is 13.8, and this happens at 8500 rpm. If you look at the torque-rpm curve of a bike, you can see the Torque peaking at a certian point, then slipping down. This is the peak-torque point, and generally is ensured that this comes close before the Max-bhp point.
