Hi All,
I have been scouring the net trying to find an accurate HP number for this bike. This site is the only one that has a number.
I test drove one yesterday, and it seemed a bit gutless for an 850. Last bike I drove was a CB750 which according to this site has similar hp and weight. I´m not looking for the 850 to match the CB750 in performance, but expected more out of it...
I am assuming I can get it tuned up and it will run just fine?
So, anyone have accurte horsepower info?
