And another one, no NOS, but still 190 RWHP

Not wishing to detract from the original post, but are the T3's sold in Oz different to the one's sold in US and European markets? As the one I had only produced 140hp, and not at the back wheel........ do tell!

Oh! That splains that then ::008::
I'm not sure it explains more than double the stock HP. It would take a turbo to do that?

190 is the build, 280 is the nitro. ::26::

Stock is 140hp (at the crank).

The NOS bike has double that from what I read above (280hp).

But you're referring to the highly tuned and modded bike that makes 190hp at the rear wheel.

dcstrom are you saying a stock Rocket III only has 95hp at the rear wheel? 45hp get lost on the way from the crank?

13 and up roadsters have 164 ft pounds/146hp at the crank, claimed. When I spoke to carpenter racing about their header with ecu update, according to them numbers go up to 200 or little over. This bike is something. Rolls Royce of motorcycles.

As I recall, the French bikes are restricted to 95 hp.
What a waste.
