Re: [ST] new Daytona / HP Figures

[Nathan Maher <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Correct me if I'm wrong but MO measures RWHP (rear wheel) and the man'fs 
all make their claims based on HP at the crank, right?  Based on the 
figures you're showing this would seem about right since chain drive 
generally results in about 10% power loss.

And MO probably quit weighing bikes because the man'fs were getting 
pissed about the true dry weight being known.  And IMNSHO the only real 
weight that matters is wet weight.  When's the last time you rode your 
bike with no gas, oil, battery, etc...
