Looks like crank HP, claimed dry weight, and the fuel mileage is pretty close although I haven't checked mine lately.

But on test day, Glendora was a minefield. Recent rainstorms had loosened debris from above and caused dirt and softball-size rocks to roll down onto the road. It takes a special kind of bravado (or stupidity) to ride a motorcycle at 10/10ths when every corner hides a mudslide. And we did dial back our speed.

After all the BS I've gone through to fix mine after a trackday off, I certainly won't blame the dude. I've been waiting 3 months for a stanchion tube...

Matthias isn't a wuss, he's just smart enough not to throw a test bike down and hurt himself

They should have had Alex riding the Hyper on that Glendora Mountain Horse Trail He would have wheelied over the boulders. Boulders, mudslides AND 70 mph winds are his favorite riding conditions
