BHP is measured at the crank. The US Birds were rated 165BHP from the factory but you lose about 30hp through the drivetrain and only put down around 132HP at the wheel is stock form

With slip-ons you should gain 5bhp peak so 170bhp at the crank is about right.

"Brake horsepower

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components..."
