it's not pi times thumb cause this journal has a defined status for their
dyna-runs which are therefor comparable for all bikes and runs (concerning
also temperature and air pressure and power loss 'wheel to crank'). 
with this defined circumstances @ has got 64 hp which is normal for a
modell from 97 on, varadero got 96 hp and for example r1 141 hp which is 9
hp less than factory claims (which might have a slightly other definined
dyno-run, but then @ would have 68 hp;-)). 
also the speed was measured with photoelectric barrier and is real speed!
180 km/h real speed (which is also normal for @ since 97, without any
'fancy' accessoires like chemical toilet on the rear carrier and your head
behind the screen) is about 188-190 km/h on the average analog instrument,
but of course there are existing also fabric differences in speedos-h.
