ant, take the lap times you did on your 748 at snett compared to the times on you DD racer. what does that equate to: bhp per second............
40bhp more = 4 seconds????
im only guessing, but its not much time per bhp.

I've never ridden the 748 under race conditions, so I cannot compare the two, but I certainly know that I was lapping Snetterton last year on a trackday in 1:29s according to Jamie's stopwatch - so not that far from the 1:27.40 I did on the DD bike.
Now that might not seem like much, but given how I ride now in a race compared to how I was riding on the trackday, I'm sure I could easily knock 4 seconds off that time.
I like your idea of the dyno session to compare everyones bikes, but all it's going to achieve is showing that some bike have more power than others, and that some riders have far more talent.
I wouldn't be moaning if I was out there on a 620, but I want every advantage that I can get (legally, Dominic
) to improve my results, and at the moment my bike just isn't on par with the majority of the pack.
