Have you had it on a dyno? I'm really curious on how much power that thing is throwing down.

can give a couple of examples. The machine is well beyond any normal rider's skills. At a red light, and after you look around for the cops, you say to yourself that you can buzz right up to 45mph and see how good it feels without getting a ticket. But there's no time to think of those fun things. The weight of the helmet and the focus of your eyes brings on mild anxiety. And rolling on the throttle from 75mph gives you about 2 seconds before rolling back off the throttle. If a person was to be honest he would say that the most usable/useful everyday riding fun was with the 120R/Baker7 alone. You can be known as the fellow that chirps the tire a lot and his bike hardly gets any notice at a bike-night. The turbo makes your riding different because you have to learn new skills like not giving too much throttle while turning or on curves. If biking was becoming boring before, then it isn't

They tried to dyno it but the rear end was becoming too squirrely. The test was not even long enough for a reading and they'll try again. Maybe strap it down or something. I'm kind of happy with the mystique of having a machine that did this.
