HP for 2006 XL1200c

[Gone]

Anybody know how many HP the 2006 1200c has. The only thing on specs i could find were 79 ft/lbs @ 3500rpm. Some guy told me it would be 52.6 HP which seems low.

I read in an article that the stock 1200 has 70 HP @ 6000 RPM, The 883 has 53

intesting my z1 had 83 HP @ 6000 RPM but 57 ft/lbs @ 3500 RPM

Check out [motorcycle consumer news] Best article ever written on Sportsters. I'm sorry I don't know how to do a link. The 1200 has 70HP, 58hp at the rear wheels. The article tells you every thing about what improvements are on the new sports.

Depends on whther you're talking rear wheel or crank.

Not being a mechanic, I'll have to ask. What is the diff. I just need to know what the max HP is of the motor. The reason i'am asking is because i am importing the bike from california to europe and the customs here ask what the Hp is for import tax purposes.

There is a frictional loss in the drivetrain of ALL vehicles.

So, manufacturers GENERALLY publish (for bragging rights) the CRANKSHAFT hp and torque figures.

If you dyno ANY vehicle you'll find the rear wheel HP/Torque (or front wheel hp/torque as the case may be on many cars) is less, sometimes significantly less.

Harley doesn't usually publish crankshaft HP figures. THEY DID when the rubbermounts first came out and IF I remember correctly, what you're quoting is there or real close.

HOWEVER, if you're talking about less hp = less taxes, I would get my hands on some dyno sheets cause they're gonna show LESS.

The Rear Wheel HP of a STOCK 1200 is probably in the 60s

The Rear wheel HP of a STOCK 883 is probably in the 40s

Harley publishes some dyno charts in their Screaming Eagle brochures that show stock 1200 hp and torque curves. Providing that to your government regulating body might be enough to get you the cheaper rate.
