OK, I'll try and help here.
There's about three different specs (actually there's about 11 but I can't be arsed going to the gargre to get the service manual to list them all).
US, 50 state & Canadian. 125HP 190MPH & 300KPH speedo.
US Canadian (with all the emmissions stuff). 110HP
European, Australian & original NZ spec. 135HP. 300KPH speedo
The 135HP models can only really be confirmed by lifting the seat. On the gear level side is a label with a whole load of type on it. This will also state the ignition timing on it.
If it says 4 degrees BTDC its 125HP.
If it says 7 degrees BTDC its 135HP.
I have no idea what the specs on the Japanese domestic model are. They have a 180km/hr speedo (shit you can do that in 2nd on mine) so I hope they aren't limited to 77HP.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Hmmm...ok, now I'm confused - thought it was an import as it had a sticker in front of the fuel filler that was in Japanese. BUT the speedo is a 300km/h one...
Just checked the rego details and it says Japanese import, but lists power at 101Kw which by my calculation is 135hp![]()

I had an E02 (UK Spec) RF900. That was the full power model... even the cams had higher lift than the US/Canadian models. The "NZ new" ones were actually E24( Aussie spec) bikes.
I've got a factory service manual, or can get my hands on it, which will help identify what spec it is
