Hi guys,
I mentioned, that I now also have a YB8 in my garage.
Facts :
- FZR Exup Yamaha hast 145 HP
- In many documents, Bimota YB8 is listet with 149HP
- My official documents say 131HP
Questions :
- What is right ?
- Why does my YB8 only have 131 HP
kind regards Roland |

I would say that the EXUP Yamaha has 145hp at the engine.
Bimota has to be better, so they quoted a bit more - 149hp.
Your 131hp would likely be the rear wheel hp. Stock FZRs are around 125 rwhp
My fully worked race YB8 has 145 rwhp while keeping a sensible tune. |

131 BHP at the rear wheel for an exup is perfectly acceptable. But in my opinion, don't worry too much about the BHP, as the new bikes have got you whupped there - but the torque will still have you riding with them on the street, which really p's them off _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

Thanks a lot for your answers.
I was only wondering, because all technical data sheets in the web talking about 111KW or 149HP, an my registration document says 96KW, what are 131HP
