So my local shop was having an open house day and offering free dyno runs the other day. Classes were broken down by CC size.
Put the '08 K12S in the que in the 1001+ CC class. My only mods are a booster plug and I've removed the cat from the stock "potato launcher" muffler.
Ahead of me in the que, a modded 'Busa and a modded Kaw1400 ran up impressive numbers, untouchable by stock bikes.
Then right in front of me was a new Duc V4 Panagale with very impressive 194 HP
Operator told me they were doing most pulls in 4th gear, and I'm assuming thats what they ran me in. Started off with a couple of mid rpm run ups to test everything was setup correctly and bike was secure on the stand.
Then two strong pulls all the way up. She easily ran right up to and popped the rev limiter on both pulls.
Officially 153.1 HP at the wheel without any ram air effect.
Interpolating 10 % for drive line losses and 10 % for ram air probably puts her around 185 hp at the crank. I can live with that.
Nothing else in the class even came close. I finished the day behind the Panagale for stock bikes.
