I have seen online magazine's introducing the 06 yamaha apex and stating 149hp. Supposedly the Apex is supposed to be 9hp more than the 05 rx1. Just doesnt add up. The apex should be at 154hp because the 05 rx1 is supposed to have 145 hp. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 

Actual measured horsepower and Yamaha's quoted horsepower are not the same number. I think that is the 150hp of this year and 145hp of last year that you are refering to. Its not a scam or typo, just an estimation.

anyone ever dyno a 05 rx1? I would like to know how much hp it really has. Yamaha must have dynoed the 05's and 06's if they know the difference is 9hp.
 
I read in one of the magazines a while back (I think it was American Snowmobiler, but not sure) that the '05 RX-1 was 139 hp.
That just doesnt sound right though, because the RX that I rode felt waaaay stronger than the Fusion I rode on the same day, and the Fusions are supposed to be 149 hp.
