At the Honda plant in Ohio all the bikes they build are run up to 60 65 mph thru the gears to check everything out. They do it on a chassie dyno but no hp readout just mph to check shifing brakes. and random bikes are street tested outside on Honda's test track. ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ Sent using Spitfire Communications, Inc. spitfire.net --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
