Anyway its all conjecture. Got a copy of the graph? I have my suspicions about power delivery but id like to check it out on paper. Also, any word on correction factors or dyno type?
See Roadracing World current issue (August I think) for graph and explanation. They are still awaiting a test unit and clandestinely snuck a new dealer model to the dyno. I am sure it will bear out when they do a formal test but...Dyno's don't tell the tale for a bike anyways. Still it is optimistic and interesting to think 179 hp at the wheel, what do you have to tinker with on a GSXR1000 to pick up 16 hp? Would any of us use it differently? Can it get down Hwy 23 any faster? It just looks promising...
