RFM Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 He's referring to the R model...121kW is roughly 162hp, at the crank. Lose @ 15% through the drivetrain.... Assume 140hp. On the R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 my 07 Honda has more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 121kW is roughly 162hp, at the crank. Lose @ 15% through the drivetrain.... Assume 140hp. On the R.Again, that's the standard RC8. The R is 180 at the crank...You typically lose no more than 12% with a chain drive. It's more like 10%... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Oh, and a note about our guy Ty Howard running his and the German series runners. Bike can easily get 190 to the ground in a dependable race manner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
