Explain please the new 12 vs Busa article?
I was reading the newest magazine from UK (Performance Bikes or Fast Bikes I think) and they have a rundown of the 12 against the Busa...dang good article by the way...but they claim the 12 produces 201bhp...how do they come up with such a high number like that?
I thought the 12 produced somethin like 175hp at the crank which is equivalent to around 160hp at the rear wheel?

180 at the crank is the number i remember, but it did pick up a few ponies as the years went by. dont know what the the 2004 model numbers are.

You're talking about the "Superbike" Brit mag Those bikes were bored out and had cams etc. The Busa was almost 1400 cc and the Kaw was almost 1300 cc. They liked the Kaw better! It handled better!! ;-)
