Scott, I have to question your math above. My intentions are not to
pick on anyone but, the calculations appear to be based on a Vmax having
zero HP to start with. This is not the case. I come in with 115 HP to
start with. Cost per HP calculations should begin with the existing HP
as a base line. In my case, Tourmaster should provide an additional 35
HP. At a cost of $6000, this equates to approx. $171 per additional
HP. Vgas is not that much of a bargain either. An additional 17 HP
will cost approx. $112 per additional HP. Any way you look at it, that
is a big chunk of change. I have ridden neither a Tourmaster or a Vgas
bike so perhaps I can't fully appreciate the power gains.
Just my opinion,
PDA
