My bro just got his bike dynoed, and he got 129.9hp at the rear wheel. Apparently all dynos automatically adjsut the horsepower numbers for sea level and temp, so you can compare this to other dynos (of course there is some error from dyno to dyno). My bike make about 115 at the rear wheel (according to magazines). Early 900's aren't exactly the most aerodynamic bikes, and since top end relies only on horsepower (weight has nothing to do with top speed, just how long it takes to get there) it is not surprising the 900 is slower at higher speeds. This winter I'll do some mods and then next summer, we'll see....

 

congrats on the cbr. Ive found mine to be pretty fast too I ride with 2 guys that both have busas one being a 05 and the other being a 06 but niether one can pull more then 3-4 bike links on me untill about 150-160 mph

 

If I keep mine running for a whole day and can actually ride it more then 30miles I'll give my input on the bike. Till then, safe riding and safe hiding

 

Thanks guys for all the info. it was very educational and i also feel better, it all makes sense.

im still happy that i pull on him quite a bit until roughly 150mph

stay safe

 

A teeny tiny 20 shot of nos will keep you in the running though ;-)
