Thanks, Red.
It's not even a dyno test result, just an estimate. I don't know how anybody could say that makes it "official", but it seems that CWO is more interested in spinning a negative slant on the 1250 than being accurate and objective...
Interesting read with the translation... I noticed they included an explanation for the dyno test you posted:
"One can easily note here that the Gangster 1200 posts a power higher than that of the 1250 Cm3 in spite of the figures indicated by the manufacturer (even power). That is explained by the fact why the motor bike of Renato, our guide, had 6000 km with the meter and the model 2007 only 500 km. More interesting to note, the linearity of the curve of power of the 1.250, and all the rise in mode shifted of approximately 500 rpm compared to that of the 1200. But it is of course the curve of couple which makes the largest difference. The 1250 already reached 11 daN.m with only 3.200 rpm, whereas the 1200 are well also remains with 8,9 daN.m. Notez how the curve of couple of the 1250 remains stable around its maximum value on a beach going of 3.200 tr/min with practically 8.000 tr/min. Incredible, that points out almost the other large engine to us of the mark, that of the GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa 1300."
So the 1250 in the test only had 310 miles on it... not even broke in yet!
They also posted 98 hp for the Honda CBF as well as the old 1200... looks like they all get the same "rating" from the factory, probably for insurance purposes.
Good review, the "Gangster" comes out on top in most categories, especially the speed and power. And in comparison to the 1200, the 1250 makes the same top speed in 5th gear... before shifting into 6th!
