GDYUP (Phil),
If I do ever visit a dyno I would be glad to let you know to compare bikes. But I have to admit to you am in no hurry to punish the beast on a dyno. One really has to wonder how much good or otherwise too many dynos do for the bike just to satisfy ones curiosity of HP figures.
My last dyno read on Col's came out 177 HP was about 2 years ago. Since then have had air box mod with BMC Racer, BTL, with Remus cans (and definately running stronger). I wouldnt be suprised if it crept up to 180 give or take. But to tell you the truth numbers dont mean all that much to me, its the throttle response and aggressiveness of the engine that gets me to take notice.
Allthough all busas are the same engine unless major modified, one does wonder if some are just better than another, perhaps not but I do wonder. Needless to say with same mods.
