That is ~ 3/5 hp less and 3/5 ft lbs more than a F6B. I wasn’t sure if manual or DCT tested but after watching the video closely, you can see the left hand pull in the clutch and the left foot put the bike in gear. Watching the blurr on his right hand looks like the editor cropped the shifting out. Was it to confuse us? Am I wrong and it is a DCT? What are other members thought?

My 2015 F6B had the ECU flashed. It is quite a bit quicker than stock. But, I find the HP readings a bit lacking. Thinking back to the old VALK with the beautiful motor in the late '90s, I believe we had dyno numbers around 115 - 120. LaMonster would know. Maybe some of you remember better than me, too.
The 2018 BMW K16B dynos at around 129 RWHP ... torque is less, maybe 105ish. And, that bike weighs around 85 - 90 pounds less than the NEW Wing. I guess if one were looking for acceleration, the BMW would be the pick. I am looking forward to a head to head comparison of the Grand America and the NEW Wing, or the K15B and the non-tour GW. Should be interesting.
