Just noticed the Vstrom 1000 being advertised in Mexico as 115 HP have they upgraded the engine this year or is it the European model?
I know Honda has just brought the Varadero into Mexico for 2006, it looks pretty good but is far most expensive and heavier.

I wonder if they're using crankshaft hp figures.

I had my 05 on a dyno in October and it ran at 94.5hp. The bike was stock with the exception of a power commander... I would think that the numbers are at the crank...
