R1000 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm in the progress to seriously increase the power on my Bird. The chassi is great now with Hyperpro 041 rear shock and WP suspension springs in fork. A replacement head is on porting and there will be new cams and a full Yoshi race system. I wonder what power figures owners with tuned bikes have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlingBird Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ok, i'll go first 181bhp at the wheel! :icon_nana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyFoXX Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Nothing like bling bird..... but a solid 127 hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokanxx Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 My XX is fitted with dual carbon fiber 2 bros slip ons. K&N air filter, & Dyno Jet Stage 1 jet kit. At this time it had factory 17T counter shaft sprocket and tires were inflated to 38psi. With this set up my 97' XX turned 135 hp, and 78 lb of torque. on a Dynojet 250 Dyno I switched to a 16T sprocket bumped the air pressure to my usual 42psi, and filled the tank with fresh cool 89 octaine gasoline and turned 137 hp, 79 lb of torque. Both runs were within 2 hours of each other on the same dyno. First run was at about 8:00pm Dyno room was 89 degrees, Second run was at around 10:00pm Dyno room was 86 degrees. My stock dyno run was done 1 week before the others on the same dyno the dyno room was 93 degrees during my baseline run. Baseline results were 131 hp and 75 lbs of torque.

XXTi Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Mine turned out to have 138 hp and 80 ft-lbs torque. The numbers posted in the graphs above must be for a highly modified bike or a totally inaccurate dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para045 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ok, i'll go first 181bhp at the wheel! :icon_nana: Well done What modifications has been done ? I am guessing from looking at the graph that it is either a V+M CBR1200XX or has been bored out as the legend at the bot of the graph say's CBR12XX :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokanxx Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Bling Bird's avatar is of the 1200 Limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlingBird Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 It's a V+M 1200 fitted with a remapped injection system. It's heavy on rear tyres but the grin factor is amazing! I fuckin' love my blingbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlingBird Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 What does the V+M stand for, how is the engine composed and what is the power/torque? The V+M is (was) V+M racing, A UK company who specialised in ripping loads of power from the XX. V+M produced 50 of these bikes for Honda Europe to celebrate Honda's 50th anniversary. The bike was a standard bird with a 1198 big bore kit, forged pistons, VMR cams, gas flowed head, modified carbs, corillo con rods, re mapped, adjustable ignition system, new oil cooler, Acrappybitch exhaust, Penske rear shock, LSL rear sets and steering damper and a few other little bits. The bike produced 200 bhp at the crank in standard form (about 175 at the wheel), I've had a modified injection system fitted which added a few HP and makes it a bit more user friendly. and is now pushing out 181bhp at the rear wheel and 108 foot pounds of torque... not bad for an XX I've replaced a lot of the original gear and fitted Ohlins front and rear which makes a big difference to the handling. Sounds like you're doing a lot to yours, would be nice to see the figures when it's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your have got yourself the real thing I cant imagine getting your figures but will certainly lift the power and torque quite a bit from stock. The head is on porting, a full yoshi was ordered today. A new fully adjustable Hyperpro rear shock is on since last weekend and the fork is mantained and has WP-suspensions parts. I'll report the coming results. Do you have the data for the VMR cams and springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach12 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I really wish the V+M would have made more of those. That bike is the match up for the Busa and 12R. Honda needs to stay in the race. But its just shows how much has to be done to a bike now to be one of the BIG BOYS.. I think that bike runs for around $30,000 CDN am I wrong? :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the data for the VMR cams and springs? I've been looking through paperwork and can't find any figures for the cams, sorry mate. Going off how tractable it is at low revs, I'd say it could easily take something a bit wilder but I have no idea what the duration and lift are. I'll take some measurements when I blow the engine I really wish the V+M would have made more of those. That bike is the match up for the Busa and 12R. Honda needs to stay in the race. But its just shows how much has to be done to a bike now to be one of the BIG BOYS.. I think that bike runs for around $30,000 CDN am I wrong? :icon_think: The bike was just short of £16,000 GBP new, which is about $36,000 CAD I think? It is a shame Honda never saw fit to produce something of this spec but I think Honda's biggest problem is competing on price. We all know that Honda's build quality is second to none and for them to produce a bike of this standard and maintain their unbeatable reliability would probably mean the bike would be overpriced or wouldn't be cost effective. I could be wrong, maybe Honda have something up their sleeve as we speak but I think they've given up looking for the top slot, a case of 'been there done that' and they've gone back to doing what they do best... producing the best bikes in the world.

I fuckin' love my blingbird Thats a great looking bike. I've only seen a few pics of it (from where I can't remember) but they were less than flattering. It looks sweet in that pic.
