Cheers. :thumbup:

Motorpoint FZ6 Review ( AUS )
Claimed power is around 98BHP at 12,000RPM and a torque value of 46.5 FT/LB at 10,000.

Motorcyclistonline.com Review
Yamaha claims 98 crankshaft horses at 12,000 rpm

etc. etc...

i don't have any real world figures, never been to a dyno.
maybe someone else who has dyno'd will post their specs?

Mac.
