rwhp All the dyno runs I have seen for the VFR1200 are right at 150hp. Could be about 170hp at the crankshaft; around 12% loss to the rear wheel...

it's my understanding that the bike has 2 maps. One for 1st and 2nd gear, the other for 3rd through 6th gear. Or it could be just that the bike...
the gear indicator will be incorrect if you bypass the 1st and 2nd gear detune from the factory. Not a big deal to me though. I splice 1st into...
