this is pathetic!

#1 Unread post by VermilionX »

paid for a dyno run at the bike show for $20.

they told me its normal for a stock 750. he also said it's very hot that's why it's a little lower, he told me if they did the run on their usual facility it would be around 120.

another guy from the audienced told me that i got cheated since they should have simulated the air intake on my bike. it would have shown more power.


WTF!? happened to the 150hp at the crank???

oh well, oh well... there's really nothing i can do.

I'll buy your weak arse bike for $30 then. It'll be like getting the dyno for free and pocketing $10...
