25%... literally?
I'm guessing the loss of HP is because there is less oxygen per square cm.
Does this also mean that typically a bike will run rich at those altitudes?
Is there a mechanical thing that someone could do to force more air into the engine or somehow create a higher pressure inside the engine in order to retain HP?
