Well, I said I give an update on the 100 hp Thruxton:
Okay- Saw Tony today at Eurosport and got the scoop. The bike is actually running around town here in Fort Worth. It was a 988 kit with custom megacycle cams, Shim under bucket, 2 over valves, head work, custom crank, 41.5 Kehien carbs, 2 into 1 D&D exhaust, and custom ignition. $8k total in motor work. turned out to be an 1100+ cc motor.
Tony said that 0-4k rpm the bike made stock power. 4-6k it makes a little better than stock power. From 6-9k (with the new ignition it red lines at 9250 RPM) it tears your arms off. 105 RWHP- yes, at the tire. He said it's doable, but isn't real street friendly, but does haul butt. It has full upgraded suspensions, wide rear tire (Tony has 'em custom made)and a ton of other stuff. A true $20k $8000 dollar bike.
I have no reason to doubt him. In fact he has, sitting on the showroom floor, a turbo Rocket III with a Jarden full exhaust (block back), programmer for the turbo mapping, and a custom made intake for the EFI.
