At 6000 - 8000 RPM you are only putting about 60hp to the ground. So. Unless you ride at at 10,000 RPM constantly, you're normally playing w/ less power than an SV650.

hmmm... 129 WHP.

so when it comes to numbers... the lowest number is gonna be WHP bec it involves all the sprockets, chain, and wheels.

BHP will show higher numbers and Crank HP will show the highest number.

i assume that 129 WHP is already the fixed number from the elevation.


and im well aware that im not using all the power around 8k rpm.

it feels good to know that i have the power though should i decide to use it. like i do when i do 140+mph runs. it also feels good to know that i still have a lot should i decide to push it even more than that.

BHP is crank HP... brake HP just specifies how the HP was measured.

Crank HP can be from dyno or calculed...calculated can be "my drive system loss is 13% and my rear wheel HP is 100 so my crank HP is 115" or "my bike did a 1/4 mile in 14.6 seconds and weighs 530lbs with rider wet so it has 34HP".... http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm

There were a lot of ways of measuring HP... some were engine with no accessories (no alternator, no water pump) and a positive pressure intake... some are just calculations based on engine geometry and are strictly theoretical... BHP is just a way of telling you which one people are talking about.
