Roy Richards was always close the 120 hp club with just a pipe on his 1988 Max. With the addition of a set of carbs bored to 38mm and a modified airbox, he was able to get 124 hp**. Still not satisfied Roy put on some individual filters and blasted his way into the 130 rwhp range!!!
... and in doing so, Roy became the Daytona VMax modified hp champ at BikeWeek 2000. By
getting this level of hp at a public event, Roy has erased the
question once and for all if this amount of power comes from the
bike or dyno tricks. It definately comes from Roy's bike!
**other secrets of Roy's power includes a 17" rear radial
wheel and a lightened flywheel.
