Dyno numbers for '07's
I talked with a friend of mine last night that has a dyno. He talked with a friend of his, that owns a dyno in a large city. I could name names, but will not. Lets just say it is a very good source and most people would recognize the name. ANYWAY....he got to do a dyno run on a 2007 96" bike. Just as he suspected, the hp and tq were under what the 88's were! In all fairness, the 88's would not make what the MoCo claimed they would either, but they did do better than the 96" engines do. I honestly figured that they would be at least even, but he swears that they lacked a hp or 2 to just be even.
Food for thought........

Depressing. Hope we get some more runs logged to see an average. I like to "turn" my bikes around the 30K mark on the clock......have 24K now on the '04. Was thinking maybe the '07 would be THE year..........might have to wait for the '08 to arrive. We still haven't seen any published articles, tests, reviews, etc. from the various magazines on the new models. I'm not gonna rush out and slap a deposit down on an unknown. Time will tell us the story.

Yeah - and you have to be careful on what they mean by an increase in torque (up to 17% across the product line depending on the scoot).
The deal is - yes the motor needs to be broken in - but we have to see the dyno chart. 17% peak torque increase is not the same as a 17% total volume under curve, shape of torque curve, etc.
17% increase in crank torque is a marketing number.
nogood - can you get the dyno sheet posted with the guilty names erased?
Just for the record I think what the MoCo has done is a step in the right direction regardless - maybe a baby step - but considerign they could have done nuttin' or someting really stoopid.

RE: Dyno numbers for '07's
Certainly imporant. I'd like to know more about "elimantes the need for catalysts" from the tech pdf below
Need someone to ante up for an 07 and take a sawz-all to it ASAP.
Electronic Sequential
Port Fuel Injection
(E.S.P.F.I.)
• Similar design was
incorporated for the
2006 Dyna™ models
• O2 feedback system
eliminates the
need for catalysts
(except VRSC™ models)
• HDI motorcycles
are equipped with
O2 sensor feedback
• System adjusts to provide
optimal air/fuel mixture
• Some CVO motorcycles
require catalyst
