Dale, I think it's more like this. The two people with the most to loose/gain are the one's conducting the test. No suprise the V-2 is basically the same as a V - 1. The Hall pipe still rules & the the DCS-5 is getting a revamp. Wow, never saw that comming.
Again the Dyno proves, that nobody knows what their bike does in real life, and the true authority comes only from your side of the fence. There has been adequate time to post up, figure out what needs to be shown. I really appreciate that you guys were soo concerned about people's "Feellings" shows how big hearted you guys are.
Never the less, now since the "cat is out" we should see if the bikes run just like they do on the dyno in the outside. just to further support the runs. It will be the corroborative evidence that will validate all this fine testing.
What do you think I might have to loose or gain here,? I'm a rider just like you and if theres a better product I want it.
The point to me is that transparency is what the guys here spending the money deserve. These numbers show the POWER OUTPUT of the machine. Period. I've learned what that info means and then its up to the rider to put it to work.
I absolutley agree the real world PERFORMANCE of that machine is putting your power, whatever it is, along with your setup, gearing, weight, riding ability combined to the ground. A lesser hp machine properly setup can be faster.
I haven't told anyone to go buy a HPR pipe, they are kinda ugly.
We can race anytime in the sand. I just need to know the parameters of machine (s) you want to run so it will be somewhat of an even match up.
