Default Rincon only has 16 HP!

I can't find a certificate of origin in my paper work. I have a repair invoice from when I had them check something. Next to Engine number there is H.P. and under it there is a 24. (Foreman 450) I wonder if that is accurate. Sounds better then 12hp.

Where are you guys finding your certificate of origin at? It must not be the title, because I have looked there and it says nothing about hp ratings.

ther is know way a stock rincon will keep up or BEAT the p650. when i had my p650 slitly modded with dg snorckle, mod pipe, and twin air i could beat a piped 400ex like nothing i would OBLITERATE him in 4wd . when i raced him in 2wd he keped up with me till i hit about 15 mph then i never saw him again. i timed it my p650 when it was stock it would do 300ft in 6.1 seconds you go find me a rincon that will do that.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Mine ran a 6.5 sec 300ft on a bad launch and it was a hot humid day, it was technically closer to 350ft though. *shrugs*

Not bad for a 1 cylinder Rincon vs your V-twin eh?

Yellow650Rincon- It came with the bike from the dealer. If the dealer you purchased it from did the paper and title work for you then you would not have received it from him. I bought it out of state and received the papers I would need to take to my tax office when I returned home. I think it said it had 38.2 hp or somewhere around that. I wish I had of made a copy of it to keep.

I guess if I was that good at riding wheelies. I have only gotten it to 30 and let it down. My bro can get it up well past 40.

Hey why don't you get us some videos of your "worlds fastest" P650 doing some 300ft runs? There is no way in hell your gonna run 5s on the pavement.

I don't know where they come up with some of this crud! My cert of origin says 37.5 hp ( this is overall- not rear wheel). You know damn well a 650 machine would have to put out more than 16 hp even at the rear wheels, elsewise how does it go 55- 65 mph depending on conditions, weight, etc.?
