- Round the World on an 1199
Looks like when Motorcyclist dyno'd the Panigale R they forgot to disconnect the TC:
All the other comparos I can recall always resulted in the 1199 R (or S) laying down HP figures close to the HP4/S1000RR. My first thought was they got a bum bike, but the 1/4 mile and track times (as well as subjective comments on power delivery) for the R were right where they should be (eg 9.99 in the 1/4), leading me to believe that the culprit involved improper prep for the dyno.
Not a big deal, as the R still performed quite well (2nd to the HP4), but still....
And no, I won't post the entire article--pick it up for yourself (or score a copy on Zinio), ya cheapskate, and support these guys who bust their ..... riding and writing for a living. How else will they ever make enough money to pay for a "How to dyno a Panigale" class?
