Yeah that figure is still way inflated. That dyno chart looks about right, 29 crank and 25 at the wheel.

Excuse my ignorance, but I've meaning to bring this up, at some point. What does PS mean, is it HP? Not Kw.
Welcome the elucidation.

that dyno chart is for a vtr which has a redline 1500rpm below the vt250f! and doesn't a dyno measure the power at the wheel anyway? I stand by 40ps as they are only slightly less powerfull than a cbr and slower due to being bigger and heavier than a cbr. anyway, i'm not getting heated over this it's a good debate for once!

and the difference between hp and ps is described here:

just had a read on some other forums and aparently the new vtr put out 25hp whereas the old vt250f's put out 43hp

True had a stuip moment. 6500 sounds better if the GT costs 5995. Sorry I can't add

Well it will probably be cheaper if the price of the GT has been reduced, but I'm pretty sure he told me the GTR would be 500 more then the GT. So if the GT only costs 4995 then the GTR will cost 5495.

I'd pay the extra if I wanted a faired 250 bike cause you get so much more.

well if you can find a site that reports anything less than 40hp for the VT250F i'd like to see it, because in all the searching i've done i haven't seen one!

Can't really believe that. Honda only ever said that the spada made 35hp at the crank. You sure about that figure?

CBR's only are claimed at making 45 hp and as a rule of thumb the more cyclinders there are the more power that will be made.

As for the 0-100 comment earlier, sure your on. Make sure your at the sprints in November though so everything can be timed.

Yeah I found one, go to here

Mate get you're bike dynoed so then we can see that it puts out 40hp. They are all talking porkies, only way a VT250 is going to do 200kph is if it's thrown out of a plane at 10 thousand feet.
