just curious, what kind of horsepower does the 944 produce?

thanks

About 85-90HP with a little bit of headwork and ST2 cams. A real STUMP puller.

BTW my New Multi makes 89 on the dyno and is super smooth all the way to the redline AND doesn't get breathless at the redline either. The DS motor is very sweet and I'm thinking about 1078 over the winter.

Do you mean the new stock engine?

My Multi is a 1000, so yes I'm talking about the new engine. If you haven't ridden one yet you should get to the dealer for a test ride ASAP. This motor is really nice. They make a piston and cylinder kit for the 1000cc DS to make it a 1078cc DS, which is what the new Multi 1100 will be.

With regard to the 944 (overbore 900SS motor), I don't own one but have ridden a few. Very nice torque and HP but not as smooth as the 1000DS

ST2 944cc engine(NOT TUNED!!!) gives 61kW / 83 HP at 8500 RPM, torque: 82Nm at 6500 RPM and i have in my hands now papers of my friends 1000 Multistarda(New Ducati Performance ECU with open mufflers) dyno papers: 93.1 HP at 7980 RPM. Torque: 99.1Nm at 4640 RPM(!!!!!!!!!) from rear wheel, what is VERY good torque soooo low RPM:s.... That 1000cc Multistarda gives very close same torque, what i can get from my ST4S, but 1800 RPM:s lower, than my ST4S!!! so, that 1000 Multistarda engine is very good one! I can get 24 HP more, than 1000 Multistrada, but need to use surely more RPM:s..... Dyno, is very intresting thing, what NEED TO DO, if want know EXACT power/torque of bike... Btw, those ST2 values were from "specs"(from clutch), not from rear wheel, what those dyno values were!!!!
