Engine's Strength
 

Does anyone know what the Horse Power on a 1988 cbr1000f be, rough estimate? random motorcycle spec websites say around 100 hp

Have a look at the workshop manual section at the top of the page.
I think you'll get a surprise ! The 1000F restricted model in California had around 100HP, the German bike about 108HP, but the std bikes were from 125-133BHP depending whose lies you believe.....:)

That's about right.... but likely a bit more than 100.
I think the crank HP in the specs is 132, so I'd say about 105-120HP to the wheel.
The few dynos I've seen seem to agree.

Maybe this ?

My ole 88 made 117 at the wheel, 72 ftlbs. of torque (might have made more, found out had a cylinder out of round while boring for piston kit). After mild headwork, 1049 kit and FCR's it made right at 130 ( can't remember exactly what). I still have printout of stock dyno session somewhere...

S'where I'd put it at too

At the end of the day , no matter what spec you may happen to read , ...all I know is that if you dare use all of the rev range with a full fist of throttle , they have enough power to pull christ from the cross ... and certainly enough to get my full attension when I hammer mine ...:icon_wink:

I do think the 100hp may be understating them though ...:icon_shrug:
Mine is an Aussie version and no way does she deliver only a 100hp....:icon_no:
I cant imagine them limited to that .... ? must be a bit weird to ride them like that I recon ..

its not even that these bikes don't make that much power, but they make crazy amounts of torque. that's why they are so awesome.

Yeah, what he said^^^

My old GSXF 750 had 100hp and while it went well these things would walk all over it. I'd figure they have at least 20 odd more hp.
