| My Genuine Ducati manual lists my a 916BP as 109bhp at the CRANKSHAFT and the 916SP as 131bhp at the crank.
Last week my 916bp recorded 104.8bhp at the rear wheel, cant say if the open pipes and chip have added much but normally I would be expecting drive train losses of around 6 to 7 bhp., My TL1000S made more power but was the best part of 80cc bigger and sported a full race system and BMC air filter, it also weighed a lot lee than my 916, but was physically wide and handled like a tea trolley when compared with a Ducati.
Jap bike bhp is always quoted at the crank by the factories from what I've read and I can quite believe 120bhp at the crank of a new R6, I have just picked up a year old GSXR600 with a tuned engine knocking out 116bhp at the rear wheel for which I have the Dyno graphs. |
