I've been thinking, that113seems bad azz.
Stock observations.
Warrior 656 lb 836 w/rider, 11.22 lbs per hp, 8.75 lbs per lb-ft,
"While torque is a major consideration on a cruiser, let’s not forget horsepower. The Warrior is already cranking out 50 horsepower by 2,800 rpm, and peaks at 74.5 horsepower at 4,500 rpm. Peak torque, 95.5 lb-ft, occurs at about 3,500 rpm. Both figures are considerable improvements over the Road Star’s numbers, and both occur higher in the rev range than the Road Star’s figures. Eventually, Yamaha upgraded the Road Star with the bored cylinders and now today both models displace 1,670cc, but the Warrior still makes considerably greater power because of its hotter cams, injectors and a higher redline. It will be interesting to see if the new 1,854cc engine introduced on the 2006 Roadliner and Stratoliner will become a part of the next generation of Road Stars and Warriors."

Roadliner S 778 lbs wet, 958 w/rider 10.99 lbs per hp, 8.93 lbs per lb-ft,
"Shifting the five-speed transmission is facilitated by an adjustable chromed heel/toe shifter, and by the fact that everything just works smoothly. The clutch requires a moderate pull and became tiring by the end of the day, but those heavy springs are there to control a lot of power. The Roadliner spun the Borla dynamometer to 87.1 horsepower at 4,700 rpm, and an impressive 107.2 lb-ft of torque at a very lazy 2,200 rpm! By comparison the stock 1,795cc Honda VTX1800F we tested in our May 2005 issue generated 86.4 horsepower, and torque peaked at 100.6 lb-ft; it weighed 778 pounds wet. The 1,643cc Victory Hammer in our March 2005 issue delivered 77.3 horses, 98.4 lb-ft of torque and weighed 704 pounds. The Roadliner’s small tach indicates that the engine is turning just 2,550 rpm at an indicated 65 mph, and with peak torque at 2,200 it means you’ve got a boatload of passing power at your right grip when cruising along at 60 without even downshifting. "
.....and now for the rest of the story http://www.ridermagazine.com/output.cfm?id=1202131
Raider: 735 lbs 915 with rider Yamaha claimed 90HP and 110 lb/ft torque. 10.17 lbs per HP, 8.31 lbs per lb/ft
"Chunk this puppy into gear, release the clutch and it leaps forward readily, a function of its monster torque. Roll it on and you’ll wish there were a tachometer as the engine has a nice, hard hit in the upper rpm ranges that causes me to believe Star’s claim of 90 horsepower at the rear wheel, with 110 lb-ft of torque. Dual counter-rotating balancers allow the rider to feel a bit of V-twin shake, but it’s never annoying."

Do you think the 113 would get the same 10% power increase with vbak, pipes, and pc3 as the Warrior does? More/ less?
