No gazza. I just dont get why people feel they need they have to prove how many ponies their bike has. Like MG says her bike only had 145hp but she only got it to 140kph. What is the point of knowing how much hp if you cant use it?
I can understand it in a competitive scene where you might need every pony you could get but for road riding?
Aaahhhhh so thats the secret, I need stickers :slap:
I would like to get mine on the dyno at some stage just for interest more than anything else.
I think its a normal bike rider thing as far as I can see. I have built my bike into something a bit better and although i haven't been on a dyno , just knowing it puts out X gives me a buzz. Then when out on the track you can spot the difference as well. Maybe its a bloke thing ? Gaz.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
I got quite a kick out of spending two hours on the dyno with the sidecar getting the mixture & timing right & taking it from 187 rwhp to 227 rwhp, thats the best 168 dollars i ever spent.
I guess thats the difference between a NZ champ & an also ran.
If dynoing bikes is for wankers then bags not be the one to tell Sam Smith, Andrew Stroud & Shaun Harris etc that they are a bunch of wankers.
so you dont like to be competitive on the road i sure prefer to have my bike running well as it can and still beat them cafe racers up the mountains dyno dont sound like a bad idea
if everything seems to be going well you obviously dont know whats going on

Points of interest:
The K2 makes more torque than the K4
The power curves of both bikes are very close until 12'500, when the K4 edges ahead
The K2 was dynoed by the previous owner at 110bhp on a different dyno.
The K4 is leading the VMCC winter series in F2, and 2nd in F1 against much newer, and bigger cc bikes
HP numbers are just numbers
