LOL like you need it..some of the riders are on bikes with 51.5bhp at the rear wheel..so if you find a spare 10bhp chuck it down to the peasents in the low ranks huh.!

Cheers Phil (I think ), I had the benefit of Geoff guiding me round Cadders at the last track attack and he was happy with my speed into/round/through corners but was asking why I didnt accelerate along the straights, reckons he was keeping up on tickover. With 50.7bhp available (on MHP's dyno) that's the sort of difference 10+bhp CAN make

Antoine, if you ever want to take 'Monica' for a spin to see how us peasants "make do", you're welcome mate

Paul, I may race in your class next year. And I remember all my feelings when riding Julie2 (that's my 600 Monster). So I'll deny your offer regarding Monica

I trust you, but when I have a look at the results of people who've run different engines in the season (Dom and Geoff by example) I don't see where the difference is.

We're going off topic here a tad, but...

My 620 is making the same power as my 675 big bore bike - we don't know why and that's why there has been no great difference in MY performances - that and the fact I've been getting slowly demoralised during the season.

...and I think that Geoff's engine only lost a couple of bhp, not 10.

Don't forget that 10bhp may not sound much, but it's 20% between 52bhp and 62bhp.

Not sure how equal riders would go on 120bhp and 144bhp for example?

Probably go the same speed eh - not!

Is the 240-250bhp Desmosedici faster than the WCM with 200bhp?

I know it's loads of votes, but try counting them on no fingers - it will make it easier
