20+ hp gain with only 28cc gain? I think not. Maybe 55hp at the very most. But I guess it gets to a point where its not the quad that preforms, its the RIDER. Think about that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Maybe that austrialian HP is different than US Hp. I know street bike engines run alot hotter than quad engines. A stock 600cc sportbike is pushing 100hp nowadays. I dont think with a stock 660 rap engine piped with a 686 kit will be pushing 70 hp. But maybe your friends rap had more mods on it than just the 686 kit. It would have to have more than just that to have 68 hp.

bikeboy- depending on how elerobate the build up is. I hope my latest 686 has 65 hp. I am doing everything to this baby. Then add for alky and a 20 shot[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Back to the hp numbers. Very little will outrun you.
