At the time, that was the highest HP he had seen with a completely stock bike. These days there are several bikes that can make over 200HP.....heck I remember when the magic number was 100HP, that was insane. Now my KTM adventure bike puts out more then that in off road mode...
Yep.....and I'm only going by seat-of-the-pants feeling.....so heck by that unit of measure they are ALL fast!
