Today Procycles in Napier opened their doors for a Dyno shootout open to any streetbikes. Bike rolled in most of the day with a good mixture of Harleys & Jappa's.
I decided to try out my GSXR600K3 managing to squeeze 97hp at the back wheel, stock standard bike except for a micron muffler, 4800k's on the clock so barely run in. Not bad for a little bike & to consider there was no ram air.
A GSX1400 managed a disappointing 98hp, only 1 hp more than mine for all that extra 800cc's.
A few GSXR1000's, a stock standard K3 that had done a few k's managed 149.5hp, a brand new K3 off the shop floor 100% stock standard and not run in managed 145hp, a K1 that had done a few more k's and had more go fast bits than I can mention including a Yoshi exhaust, aftermarket air filter, power commander (not currently plugged in), remapped stock computer to suit Yoshi exhaust managed a slightly disappointing 141hp.
A 124 cubic inch (2032cc's) Harley managed 122hp. A turbo'd Harley managed 118hp.
A guy turned up on a new Triumph (the big beast) but refused to put it up. Probably didnt want to be shown up by a 1000cc Jappa.
Many more but nothing too exciting.
No bikes went bang, not a bad day.
