I guess I should note thathat the heavy increase in power was not just peak power. The factory Honda tuning was super lean below 4k, and the ignition timing was severely retarded across the board to make it capable of running 87 octane. It currently has a 91 octane tune optimized for exhaust and intake. That is why there was a 20+ hp increase. That makes this bike close to 200hp at the crankshaft, and over 100ft/lbs of torque from 3800 to 10,000 rpm. It is a freaking missile, and I rarely ever find myself going anywhere near full throttle.
