Hi Hobbsy,
>>The problem with independent testing organizations is that they don,t remain independent for long,

I generally would agree with you, but the motorcycle mags have made it work. They report consistant accurate dyno charts that really let you compare apples to apples. It's a great tool when used properly. It also keeps the manufacturer's honest. With the advent of this testing in the motorcycle world, the manufacturer's were forced to start publishing real power numbers and not just marketing hype.
