Harley's new 750

Oh yeah, you ride bikes with 20 times the horsepower, go 3 times as fast, and you're so damn good you think that's gutless and slow. You'd die in 1929, none of you have the balls they had.

I remember the old man telling me that early on, engines were given two forms of horse power ratings. A basic output at the flywheel without the drag of a fan, alternator etc, and a developed hp. Have I got that the right way round?

So would this 6hp engine have developed a higher BHP?
