[QUOTE="royrobertson, post: 170096, member: 2486"] Hi, I think the 108 bhp must have been at the crank and even then was a Superb figure out of a 998cc engine on dope. I understand that because of the altitude on the Salt quite a lot of power is lost. With 104.6 bhp at 6540 rpm at the crank, my 1272cc racer on petrol achieved 150 mph over a flying quarter with less than a mile run in, normally seated as my photo left but with open pipes. Rollie was nearly naked and prone so this must have helped offset the power Loss, What a Brave man. I got up to 166 mph with a dustbin fairing at the same venue with the same bike in 2003. roy the racer. [/QUOTE]
