TB: is our measurement of brake horse power the same unit as what the Europeans call HP?

The stock horsepower for a corked XR650R is around 42 horsepower from there you uncork it as the Americans call it and get around 48 to 50hp. Then you can do as my bike has been done and fit a HRC performance kit, head work with standard valves, carb mods etc etc which is good for around 63 hp. It is the torque that makes these bikes excel they can pull the bend out of a river

More facts here

Europeans dont often use horsepower but normally quote kilowatts, or if they use horsepower it is metric against the Americans with XR’s would be imperial

It must be something along the enduro lines Jeffro cause KTM’s dont have them, yet DR’s KLR’s etc do your right
Mal’s husky most definitely doesnt

Not sure if the look was worth the effort though.

When I lose you in the back streets somewhere on Saturday remember that

It is a damn shame the title “worst thread ever” has been used because this thread should have been named “worst thread ever” :laugh:

This is one very neat straight bike people. I know the bike and have to say it is a very good buy for the price.
