Tee hee hee!  Now what REALLY sucks is that I couldn't pass Barker on his 9R. I was carrying a 60lb weight disadvantage and more aerodynamic drag, but I should STILL have been able to pass him on the straight. Sucked.

There's not that much difference in peak HP.

XB9R HP for 12: 103 Torque for 12: 84 HP for 9: 92 Torque for 9: 70 I don't know what the weight/hp impact is, but I'd bet that you'd lose more than 11 HP with a 60 lb difference in combined rider and bike weight. Add to that the impact of aerodynamic drag of my galloot ass compared to his and I'm not surprised.
