Oops, something I flubbed:
At 1:35 I said 500 hp bike - I meant 500cc!

A few times I also say air boot when what I mean to say is air filter side panel.

I mentioned the Lyndon Poskitt rally bikes being twin cylinder, in fact those bikes are the LC4 engined 690 singles. In an Instagram post during the Eco Africa Rally he ran through some of the specs for the team bikes and notes them making 70hp.

By way of reference in the May 2019 Cycle World Dual Sport Shoot Out they dyno tested the 500 at 41hp @7800 rpm and 29.5 PFT @7600

Here’s Dirt Rider’s early test on a 2020 making 39.4

If there’s others let me know, I leave the comments turned on these videos because it’s important to know what you have to say
