Default RE: Horsepower War A Brewing!!!


ORIGINAL: LOST IN MN

Motors Motors Motors..... So much contention over motors. I have owned 3 skopod 62's and nowhere have I seen skopod claim 10hp out of the motor. I have owned OBR full mods. ESP full mods Cat 5 modded motors. I will be purchasing a twin soon as well and might get a BZM also.
When it comes down to it, it's all about its intended purpose. Just because some don't like a motor for one reason or another doesn't mean another person will.

Why is it when there are more motor options people get all in a tizzy about it?????

I agree there needs to be some standard set for dyno testing if everyone is using different equipment and methods its quite the waste of time.
I've seen claims of 10, 12 and 15 hp on the 62's. From who, I don't know. I've seen outrageous rpm claims as well.
My point is that if I made these motors I would certainly let my customers know what they are buying, my opinion only.
I don't care who's dyno is used.
One more opinion of mine......I would never buy a motor with unknown performance data. Not a stock 23 or a $2000 twin, that's why I bought my dyno.
