I've got the mag right here in front of me.
They said that the dyno reads a bit low but does not matter as both bikes tested on the same dyno.

kx450:     Max HP = 47.54
              Max Tq = 31.83


kx500:     Max Hp =  56.50
              Max Tq =  44.01


Looking at the graph though, the Hp and Torque on the 450 doesn't drop off anywhere near as quickly as on the 500.  Much flatter across the rev range.

kwakman:
can you scan the power and torque graph and post it? or, what magazine is it? Ta.K.

Dutch-K5 Fan:
Great video!!! Those words ad 3:33 sounds like music!

i have raced quite a few of the F's with my k5 out on the dunes and it's amazing that 10hp makes so little difference in a flat out wide open race. But, ...... I'll take it :-)

Its funny... I've dragged my buddies on their xr650r's on dry lakes and it's pretty close to the end. I get em off the line and pull a two bike lead until about 80-85. Then they slowly creep up and pass....  :cry:
