I love how the BMW is hated by all! Thats what happens when the low-cost big 4 gets dusted off. I think Aprilia could've took spots 2 and 3 had "serious" riders showed up
I don't hate the BMW...I hate the hype. In fact, I think that is where most people stand on the BMW...at least in this forum. You are just another guy adding to that hype.

Well if no other serious 1000's show up what ya expect ? or implying? the numbers in all the classes look low when compared to years past .
is there a list of what bikes showed up or are you assuming no one except serious BMW owners bothered entering?
The 2nd place 183 hp tells you how many well-built 1000's showed up.
But who really cares? I would expect a strong showing from BMW/Brock equipped bikes as they were sponsors of the event. Even if nobody else "serious" did show up, you know there would be a decent BMW on that dyno. The company would be foolish otherwise.
But I'm afraid that the results don't really say anything, other than a strong BMW showed up that day. Contrary to what you may imply, Steve...the BMW is not proving to be as dominant as your hype is strong. Maybe this season?
Congrats to the bike owner on the 195 hp...that is very strong indeed.

Winning on the Dyno & winning on the drag strip may be two different story's.
