Comparing results from one dyno to another isn't very helpful. One might show 175 another might show 188 and another might show 160.

But the peak hp is completely irrelevant on a 14. It's shockingly comfortable, handles better than anyone would expect for a big bike (on a track you won't out-corner supersports but on the street it's more than capable) and the torque.. oh my the torque that only comes from displacement (or forced induction). Ride one and you'll see.

You can keep your peak hp at 13k+ rpm's, i'll take my 50% more torque through most of the rev range.
