2020 Rocket runs 10.5@126 stock!!!

The TFC to me also is an amazing bike, the finish is spectacular, it is a rocket, with an extra gear. Enjoy brutha, cool avatar u got
 
I have to admit I’m a numbers guy. I like to see big numbers and a sweet graph. When I had my other bike built I was hoping for a bit more low end TQ. I was told I might could re-degree the cams to get a better low end but I might loose some of the peak HP.

I couldn’t bear to come down off the +200 HP so I left it.

I might seek to build the TFC for more power when the parts and technology are available but I can live with it as is today. Going out on it tomorrow and I bet it will feel very good. There really is more to this bike than the numbers. I also bet I get a positive comment or two from the onlookers.
 
Maybe easier and less costly engine development design/spec level to meet Euro 5 or whatever they are up to. Still relies on old tech cubic grunt in a much more developed chassis/tech package which is still trailing other richer, bigger and better resourced manufacturers. Nothing wrong with that though.

More power is more fuel is higher carbon and other chemical exhaust output. More than enough power for 95% of buyers and users vs cost for small run production numbers trying to meet a price point.
 

Two words - DYNO SHOPPING.
 
I wouldn’t stress over any of the data. ALL manufacturers list engine (crank shaft) hp and tq. I work in a lab that does just that! ISO certified, calibrated, engineering grade absorption dyno.

What I’ve come to really appreciate, is a great running bike. No stumbles, clean pulls, steady idle. You can’t ride a dyno sheet y’all. It’s a comparative tuning tool, not a measure of if you have the right bike!

I spent a small fortune on my bike, it performs on paper less than advertised, however it runs GREAT!
 
Agree 100%. Believe but could be wrong the purpose of a GOOD dyno is not max horse power. It is to smooth out the power curve and make the bike run better overall.

The purpose in my opinion, is a properly tuned bike will make an engine more efficient, max power should be the byproduct of the tuning not the sole goal.

I’ve ridden bikes with “big” dyno numbers that ran like dog $hit! Where I live is a Mecca of motorcycle tuners. Many go to where the big numbers are produced. Fact Is all they get is an expensive tune that underperforms.
