Tim, I think I've set myself up an awful lot already. I have high expectations, but so far I haven't had 52bhp (apart from Snett). I think we're getting close to 60bhp now, and it showed on Tuesday. I'm getting there at long last.
WJB - My 98 bike made 51bhp and I think the 99 bike made a touch less.
I think the highest horsepower figure was 52 (on the official dyno at meetings)
However, there were other things being done like close ratio boxes, diff CDI's and the like.
Stories of engines being swapped after riders went too fast and bikes being sold with different motors were the norm.
I even had the Chief Scrutineer of the series say to me "If you've not go a close ratio box, you must be the odd one out"... Erm, right oh
Still, I know my bike was legal - probably why I didn't win more races!!
