Lol, at least someone gets my comments in context!
I couldn't find any tests in my mags which were in ftlb, they were all in Nm, but they has the 999s at 98 and all the jap thous over 100.
Another improtant factor is weight, Dukes are pretty heavy. Whilst I know that the japs overstate their weights (should that be understate?) there's no doubt that Dukes are heavier, and mostly overgeared as well.
At the end of the day, I'm playing devils advocate here, it makes little real difference out there on the roads, especially since rider skill plays such a huge part in it.

P.S. Jools, you don't need much room for a thou when your name's not Weeksy mate! ;-)
