Sure, it's water cooled but in reality, that doesn't create horsepower, it just helps sustain horsepower once hot.
The de-tuning for overseas that krat brings up is understandable, but you would think there would be a U.S. download or version.

Tell triumph this. My tiger 900 rally is limited to 93hp to meet the A2 requirements to allow it to be detuned. At 7k rpm, the throttle bodies close to 80% and it falls on its face. Can't wait for the warranty to be up, its going to be a long 2 years lol.
