Saying your bike is 9hp is wrong

Donkey power was a unit suggested back in 1884 (not that seriously) to address the question of how to handle units of power measurement in lesser power machines. While it never really took off, it does seem reasonable to treat these little red motorcycles with the respect they deserve.

The truth is your bike isn't 9hp. Your bike is actually 27 donkeypower.

Coincidentally that's also the same as 378 duckpower. Go forth and enjoy, my little red donkeypowered friends!

I own a '63 Datsun P/U which has a badge on both of it's front fenders proudly stating '60HP'. Apparently they were proud of that fact LOL! It's currently parked next to a late-model Toyota which makes 280HP but doesn't feel the need to brag about it :ROFLMAO:
