[Notebook Index] [Disclaimer] [The Dyno] [The Dyno & You] [How Much] [Moto One]

Welcome to the go faster department.  Here you will find performance mods, recommendations, general info and quite a bit of rambling.  The reports are written from work on customer bikes, demo bikes or my own - currently Ducati ’89 851 and ’97 600m with 750 engine, and previously Moto Guzzi Sport 1100I, BMW R1100S and R1150R, Ducati 888, 900M and ST2.

The list of reports is continually expanding, so check "The Latest Performance News" section at the top for recent additions.  To see reports for a particular model of bike, choose from the list below.  The index starts with Aprilia, followed by Ducati, Bimota, BMW, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta.  There’s a quick jump menu below. Past them towards the bottom of the index there is also a couple of reports detailing the way we dyno test and tune bikes and how this relates to the result the owner will feel.  All the dyno work we do is carried out on the same Dynojet 200 (I think) owned by Dynobike and the SAE correction factor is used for all published dyno runs.

If the bike you own isn’t here, it’s because we haven’t had the chance to play with one yet or we didn’t have the chance to get some dyno figures.  If you don’t see yours, give us a call and we’ll quite happily fiddle with it.  If you want an idea of how much it'll all cost, call or email and we'll give you as much info as we can to help you decide what's right for you and your budget.

Although this site is under the Moto One banner all articles and reports are written by myself (being Brad) and the opinions expressed may not always be that of the management.  Furthermore, the reports and articles may contain opinions and comments that I later retract based on further testing, other results or new knowledge proving me wrong.  Generally, this simply means I've learnt something new (the fun part). – Brad
