That should shut him up!

And I do agree with your point there. My question relates to the fact that I
can't see why there should be such a difference between the ST and the RS
output - unless they mixed the numbers up. The difference between crancshaft
and rear wheel power for the RS (93,6/108)=13,3% sounds a bit heavy to me
but could perhaps be true, the same number for the ST though,
(98,1/108)=4,8%, sounds way to low. However, since my '00 RS is my first
triple I lack reference regarding these figures, what is regarded standard
in engine/trans related power loss for big triple?

In Sweden we give the fuel numbers in litres per 100 kilometer, how should I
read the numbers in the test results presented here, miles per gallon? Whats
your view on the diferences between fuel consumption in the tests presented
in Motorcyclist and Rider Magazine? Perhaps RS's are built on monday
mornings and ST's on fridays after lunch? ;-)

Hi,

Is the output measured on the crancshaft or on the rear wheel?

In an interview with Erik Buell a few years back, Buell kept quoting
crankshaft horsepower, and I kept referring to rear wheel horsepower.
Finally I said I'd be interested in crankshaft horsepower when he figured
out a way for me to ride down the road on the crankshaft.
