$27,000 bike
68 hp = 393 dollars per horsepower.

Using that scenario a new Shelby at 662 hp should cost $260,166.00.

I guess that means customers are getting a deal on the new Shelby or the shaft on the new Harley.
  I love it you guys are spot on! Maybe the power requirement for all the new electronic gobbley-gook shoved into the dash robs the rear wheel horsepower. For comparison, this year BMW, who has been doing twins for 90 years now, liquid cooled the cylinder heads on the boxer for the first time in the GS model. The concept is similar, in that they are just cooling specific areas(no cooling jacket) and the liquid cooling amounts to just 13% overall. Had been 22% oil 78% air, now 22%oil cooling with 13% Liquid(ethyl glycol and H2O) plus 65%air cooling. They picked up 15 horsepower with this simple addition at 12.5 to 1 compression on a 1170cc displacement motor! Now BMW is just a pimple on Harley's ass in terms of world-wide sales so who has more resources for R&D than the MOCO. What the hell is their problem?

I expect about 100hp at the rear wheel.

I hope that this bike comes back after they get some more miles on it, so we can do another set of dyno pulls. What I showed was the highest and lowest of the pulls we made. While I am not really impressed with what I saw, I still hold out a little hope that the numbers come up some after it gets more miles on it. Now, I'm not holding my breath but am willing to see what it does down the road. The problem is I cannot be assured they will bring it back by again. We will be running more of the new engines in the near future so we will see how they begin to fall in line a month or two down the road.

 Kinda reminds you of the AMF days, doesn't it. Put out a crap product and tell you how lucky you will be to have one. "You gotta love it, it's a Harley"  Just drink the Kool Aid and remember, the MOCO woudln't lie to you. Oh wait....that might have been the government.  :oops:

I did a little math on the Limited:

This is just the bike:
896 lbs / 68.63 HP        = 13.06 lbs per HP
896 lbs / 84.51 lb ft TQ = 10.60 lbs per lb ft TQ

With a 200 lb rider, the numbers look like this:
1096 lbs / 68.63 HP        = 15.97 lbs per HP
1096 lbs / 84.51 lb ft TQ = 12.97 lbs per lb ft TQ

With a 200 lb rider, a 160 lb passenger, and 40 lbs worth of gear, the numbers look like this:
1296 lbs / 68.63 HP        = 18.88 lbs per HP
1296 lbs / 84.51 lb ft TQ = 15.34 lbs per lb ft TQ

Your performance may vary... but any way you slice it, that's gonna be a SLUG...

I'm guessing this pull was bone stock,  nothing done at all. So, curious, what made more noise the exhaust or air cleaner?
That was the first thing I noticed when I rode my 05 home, I couldn't hear the exhaust and the air cleaner sounded like the old days of flipping the lid.

The dyno runs were bone stock bike in 5th gear. On our dyno that puts the new WC engine about the same as the 2011 - 2013 103 engine as far as HP and slightly higher in torque. Not enough of a difference to write home about and as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure most riders could not tell the difference. Being on th edyno the exhaust is always louder than the intake but on the road things change.

So actually with the high flow air and the new cam, the HD tax got a bit less (of course the bike price went up).  Now you might just need a tuner rather than all 3.

I'm somewhat amazed and amused by all the "shocked" responses to the numbers.  Where have you guys been for the past 20 years?  This is just a continuation of the traditional Harley business model, where they charge you much more than the competition for a product that is much less than competitive, then they charge you a bunch more for upgrades and kits to possibly make the output competitive.  It's been that way for as long as I can remember, and I can't imagine the money grubbing management of that corporation changing the business model as long as they can find so many victims customers willing to be used and abused.

That's just embarrassingly lame for that many cubic inches.  Have seen 118 commonly cited for crank rating on the 1800 wing with 96-98 personally seen on a couple of unmolested bikes on different dynos.

I juent back and looked at my Dyno Numbers for my 03 SERK SE103. Before I did anything at all to it.

TQ - 82.89
HP - 81.33

Boy, HD sure has come along way in 11 years.
Any normal person would have thought that HD could have improved those OEM numbers greatly in 11 years.

My 11 FLTRX 103 did 70.9 and 90.6 right before they delivered it to me.  And to be frank, it ran pretty bad back then.
