agree, leave alone claimed hp figures, rear wheel horspeower is another story.

Even a 690 needs some serious work to give over 70 rwhp,

In supermono road racing people are knocking on 80 rwhp, but these are very short fuse motors with not much of a power band.

Yeh well its not so importan how many hp they actually have and give out, they are giving all the power you need for a bike like that with low weight. The XT is missing 10hp for beeing best allround.

Its hard to tell when you look at this movie, had to ride to tell difference. It seem to me like mine is pulling just the same, if you can tilt the camera down on speedo its easier to tell the acceleration. Are you on suicide mission riding so close to the cars?

Lol! You're right telling me off about my riding very close to the cars... this road is very big for Cretes standards so that's why I overtook them like that... will make a different vid with the headband but the tacho I'm using is pretty accurate and when it says 100 its 110 on the oem one and so on...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
