As a general rule of thumb, for every 7lbs you lose is the same as adding 1 HP to your bike for free! Im up about 1hp since I last rode and 5 hp from my heaviest. Just another benifit of losing weight!

One hundred mph arrives before the 13,000-rpm redline—in first gear. Shift into second at triple digits and a practiced throttle hand can lift the front Dunlop for obscene distances. The 10R covers a quarter-mile in less time than it takes to read this sentence, and it punishes incompetence, impudence and stupidity even more quickly. Too much throttle, almost anywhere, and it'll stick you in the ground like a golf tee.

Guess I've gained about 3 HP and plan to gain about 6 more HP by next year.
Don't know what I will do with it, though, got as much HP as I need now.
Almost 58 and you know what they say? "There are old bikers and there are bold bikers, but there are few old, bold bikers."0 -
