2000 BUSA Certificate of Origin says 172.5 HP

My 2000 BUSA Certificate of Origin says 172.5 HP. What does the 1999's say for HP?

The shipping weight says 473 and 1299cc.

What up with 1999, is it the same?

That is crankshaft H.P. Not rear wheel.

Let's talk about shipping weight first: 474 Lb. Dealer weighed mine at over 500 pounds with hump, no fuel (bike was full of other fluids already). Add to that the crate, seat, grab handle, etc. and you easily pass 550 Lb. Assuming 550 Lb, it's 16% off. So HP should be right around 200. No need to keep talking about the Krap-a-saki ZX12.

Is new math great or what?

I'm afraid you are confused.

Manufacturers try to maximise power figures, but MINIMIZE weight.

Or else the KZ-1300 would be king of the road.
