[Ducati] 1098S Dyno runs

[Rainer Genschel]

  Most manufacturers (riceburners and ducati) state the hp at the clutch/crank, before transmission, final drive and rear tire, which all add losses, together about 12-14%, so that's your conversion from 140 at the rear wheel (rwhp) to 160 hp in the marketing materials (clutch).

Not a major issue for me, as I simply love the design and being a 2- 
stroke engine, I see a great long term future with bike but didn't 
Ducati announce it at 160hp? I am not mechanical engineer or hardcore 
mechanic but from reading the charts it reached 145hp, or am I 
confused in the formula?

POWER* = 119.3 kw - 160 hp @ 9750rpm
* = Data calculated using an inertia dynamometer

modelName=SBK1098S-07 )

Ok, and it's true that I want to be able to argue with those rice 
burners about the numbers. ;-)
