Ducati dyno shootout at bikeweek in FL

[Norm]

I spoke to the guy with the 200hp bike and he claims that the only internal engine mod was 13:1 pistons, everything else was computer mods. I also had several people tell me that this particular dyno read about 5-7% higher than previous experiences with dynoing their bikes. Still pretty impressive.
The 139HP air cooled bike REALLY cought my attention but the guy claims that all the work was done by a shop and all he did was pay the bill. Didn't seem to know much else (hmm).
I had originally thought I might have the prototype of the 100+ ft/lbs motor that we are developing but (as usual) we are running a "bit" behind. Hopefully next year I'll get it set up before someone beats me to the benchmark.

He must have the only one with it then (not trying to argue). Take a look here: http://www.ducatispot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12247

and a quote from that thread-

as per your request, I confirm you that the Desmosedici RR does not
come with the traction control system as standard equipment.
With this regard, according to the Project Engineer, its
technological advancements, coming directly from Ducati's
experience in MotoGP, already make the Desmosedici RR model a
powerful machine but at the same they increase the manoevrability
and riding precision.

We hope this information is of assistance and remain at your
complete disposal.

+1 - even if it was 10% off, it is still crazy numbers from a twin.
