er.....03, 999cc 139hp and radial brakes, carbon everything.

Dont get carried away on the hp figures, i dont think the engine changes are radical........more in the way the figures are recorded! including the weight figure as well!!

So its gennerally accepted that the bhp is at the crank & the weights are the dry weights (no fork oil/water etc) , just like the jap bikes
Not as some magazines say, 999 lost 16kgs this year & gained 14bhp
