Very nice, and I like the reality check the dyno chart provides.

As "bad" as they were, not really impressive anymore.

The chambers look to be Proflo with Denco labels. It's running well if it's putting out 80hp at the rear wheel.

It is the torque that is impressive at 60 ft lb. Another bike (FZR 600) with inline 4 config, 4 stroke makes about the same hp but max torque is ~45 ft lb. HP sells bikes but torque wins races. :D

Any bike that weighs 400lbs, and makes 60ft/lbs, and 80H.P. AT THE REAR WHEEL(!) is gonna go O.K. (Reality check........sheesh! :? )

Obviously just badly set up :roll: He gained 5 BHP from the carbs and pipes :think: , admittadely the torque is impressive but I would have expected at least 85BHP, I have tested MANY STOCK H2's and all the stock Ones will pull between 72 and 77 BHP in STANDARD trim :think: . . . Unless they are badly set up. . . . . . . . .
.
And if you ever want a Wild ride, just climb aboard either of my street H2's that put out over 120 BHP :thumbup:

There are few people that would wind the throttle WIDE open and not be in awe of the bike :shock:
