I think about half the bikes were tested? Must have been at least 5 or 6. Skids will know. Jimbo didn't seem down on power judging by how he pulled down the straights. Every bit as fast as Kev's bike.

I agree with everything said Phil. My point is, what are the results going to be used for? So, we get an average (or even a highest figure)... What do we do with it? As it happens, i don't think there are any illegal bikes, but I'm trying to work out the point of even bothering to stress the bikes on a dyno after a race if we have no limit or any intention of excluding anyone based upon any testing. If the intention is to exclude people based upon a figure determined from the Brands test, then I would like to know what it was and how my bike compares to it.
