696 power output

Does anyone know what the correct stats are for the 696 power output. A search online gives me three very different values from three usually reliable sources. It ranges from 67.5 up to 80 hp which is odd. Anybody care to make a case for why their figure is the right one? Maybe you have dyno figures?

80hp is the "at the crank" figure, 67hp is about what you get at the rear wheel after drive train losses.

At least Ducati are clear that theirs is a value at the engine, so not all of their stated 74Hp makes it through to the back tyre and its contact patch.

‘* The power/torque values indicated are measured using an engine dynamometer according to homologation regulation and they correspond to the homologated data, as quoted in the Bike Registration Document.’

It would be interesting to know what figures anyone is getting on a dyno though?

I have a dyno chart for mine but only after airbox mods and a retune.

80hp at the crank isn't a lot compared to many other modern bikes but it does mean you can actually ride it hard, enjoy it and not be doing warp factor 9. The engine needs working hard to get it's best but it does like to rev, Just get it up to temp first.
Many friends who ride my 696 love it because the power seems just about right for UK 'b' roads to have fun, because it's got a 160 rear tyre it handles brilliantly as well.
Granted, show it a long A road and it needs more power not to be left behind. In which case the 1100 makes more sense.
I find it's fast up to 90 but do you want to be going any faster than that anyway?

What Paul said.
I find exactly the same with my 750.

Totally agree with you, 90 is plenty for me. A smaller than the norm, free revving bike, with stunning looks and a great sound.
