HP / PS is just a mathematical equation.
It equates to lifting a weight of 550lbs the height of 1 foot in 1 second.
An expected loss through a gearbox and final drive can be calculated....although I think as a general rule on a motorcycle they use approx 12%.
Therefore, 67.7HP + 12% =75.8 approx @ crank.

Be nice to see the curves shown overlaid with the standard spec.

What's the seat of pants dyno like??
