When these bikes were current, Ducati used to quote rwhp, which was 123bhp. Mine put this out on a couple of dynos, as standard, so I always assumed it was a good example. As a matter of interest, this went up to 130 rwhp with the cam timing adjusted and a power commander

Ohhh - looks like mine might be DOWN on power then

Possible, or it might be down to different dyno's, and conditions. If you get bored you might check the cam timing as mine was a mile out. For interest, torque was 80 ft/lb at 8000 rpm

Now now, its only taken 6 years to catch up using that new fangled engine

OK i know it hard to compare different dyno's but my old 2000 SPS managed 120 bhp

David don't be disheartened, using different scales (SAE, DIN ,EC etc) on the same dyno can make about 2% difference depending on which measurement is used.

Not disheartened - it still feels bl**dy fast to me !!
