So true, Z!
Being a SLOOOOOOOOOOOW rider, pretty much of a poser, but never a smack talkin' bench racer (don't want to have to try and back it up )... IMHO, HP numbers ain't shit. Sure, they serve an purpose in tuning, but the aspect of Brand A bike producing x amount more then Brand B (usually less then 5), is rather pointless.
There are SO MANY other factors involved the a HP number at the top end. What about the torque figures? What are the numbers through out the WHOLE RPM range? What about weight balance? Frame geometery? Hell, what about rider weight?
Too many buy bikes and accessories SOLELY on "chart numbers". Just because it adds "massive amounts" of HP, what good is it if it's only after 10K RPMs?

Us "fluffy" guys need that extra HP.
Ive always thought that HP = MPH...and Traction = ET
Then again...I only race in a straight line.
I didnt buy the 12 to turn

I didn't run it on the dyno before the mods so I don't know. I did compare my chart the the one on the site and it's interesting that it follows the same curves (for the most part).
