BMW S1000RR = 183HP on the wheel :(

v-max is rated at almost 198HP, wow

It 'ONLY' produces 171WHP, could it be b/c it is a shaft drive, therefore more powertrain loss, compares to chain drive?

If i remember correctly, the s1k also has a ram-air intake, it addes an additional 5hp to the claimed 193HP. so really you are looking at 198HP peak at over 250km/hr.

wondering if it is possible to produce the so called "ram-air" effect on a dyno?

last question, does every other litre bike have a ram-air intake system?

I think every modern sport bike has RAM air of some kind, litre or not.

you could be right, some refer to it as "direct air", am I correct?
