My husband and I will be there on our Monsters in the morning! It would be great to see your Buddy up on the Dyno!

Good luck. Hope you're early. My experience with these things is that tons of people show up early or sign up for free rides or dyno runs in advance. But I hope you do get in and see what the Bud will do!

So Ducati Seattle was super lame and didnt let me Dyno the buddy. I kind of understand, because they have to use a bracket that would take extra time, and it was a super busy day, but still...

Mikie - It was great to meet you today! Hopefully we'll see a Buddy up on the dyno soon. In the meantime, there was a Ratller 110 up there today and it had a whopping 7 hp!

The Monster on the other hand had 52 hp and 35 ft/lbs torque. Mmmmm!

Dyno runs on a scooter aren't really accurate unless you block the variator movement. Relative changes can be measured without doing it, but true torque, and thus derived HP, will be skewed. though I don't doubt that a standard 110 would be under 10 HP at the rear wheel. Standard 50cc scoots probably have about 5 HP at the crank but will measure about 3.5 after energy loss in the tranmission.

MonsterGirl,
After you left they put one of the 1098's on the dyno.... 139hp at the wheel!!!
