     Paul,
 
 Don't quote me.
 
 Ducati do measure rear wheel BHP.
 
 The Japanese manufacturers use an engine dynomometer (sp?) to measure the HP at the crank.
 
 Ducati, also weigh their bikes half wet (oil, some fuel, coolant) where the Japanese weigh their bikes dry.
 
 Again, don't quote me but I'm sure I've read all this somewhere before.
 
 Cheers!
 
 Scott
