You're both right!  130 at the brochure, 110 at the wheel.

But I bet there's more than a couple 600's making close to 130 Hp in the limited modification Middleweight SuperSPORT class.

Like the crew chiefs say in NASCAR, "it's only cheatin' if you get caught", and "it's my job to cheat and their job to try and find it". :spank:

There are plenty of AMA Supersport bikes that make some what above and a little below 120 that are inside the top ten, using an approximate Dynojet number.  Their suspensions aren't stock, and that's the key along with good set up and a rider that can execute.

Stock, they are probably more down toward 110, certainly, at the rear wheel on a Dynojet dyno.

Yeah 110 stock fer sure Dave and 130 with a well built engine on MR9. 130 Hp is more than my stock 2000 750 made and probably considerably more expensive.  :boink:
