Nothing major has changed on the 110 engine, so the power should still be approximately 79 PS (Pferdestärke) or 80 HP at the rear wheel.

Still seems to be a lot of power for a factory stock motor.  I remember back in the day, the 74s, then the 80s and on up.  Nothing compared to a street bike but definately a step up for Harley.

Wow , you will replace your SERG or keep both bikes ?

[ThomasK]

Hi Klaus,

I will keep both! Have sold my 08 Ultra for about 25.000.- Euro and have add only 7.000.-

In Germany my SERG has a 101 PS(HP) in the papers. Therfore the insurance is + 200%
How many PS(HP) are in the US papers?
Thanks

So they do

my o7 springer 110ci has 61KW written in the paper, that converts to a measly 83PS
my wifes 09 flhx 96ci streetglide 60Kw converts to 82PS

how do they work out these figures, the springer was so restricted a relatively stock 01 carb/nighttrain left me in its dust

The only way a stock Harley 110 could make 101 PS (102 HP) would be with the addition of nitrous oxide, and then it would probably blow from the strain.

I honestly don't know where that number on your paperwork came from, even if they were to use crankshaft numbers instead of rear wheel numbers the 110 doesn't come close to 100 HP even at the crankshaft.   I imagine it is a number just used to determine taxation and has no relationship to actual power.

Here in the USA they use what is called Taxable Horsepower on the Certificate of Origin.  It doesn't have anything to do with real horsepower, it is a calculation using bore size and number of cylinders.  The actual formula is bore² x number of cylinders / 2.5 = taxable horsepower.  As an example, the wife just bought a Ford Edge, and the 3.5L engine produces 265 hp.  On the Certificate of Origin, however, it shows 31.83 hp.   3.641725" bore, 6 cylinders  [(3.641725 x 3.641725) x 6]  /  2.5  =  31.83

I seriously doubt that you can change the information based on a dyno test.  Since it is used for taxation and insurance purposes, I have to believe it is a similar situation to the one here where the number is just a calculation from other data and has nothing to do with measured output.  You should be able to find out what that number truly means from your local motor vehicle officials.
