Horse Power: hp - A unit of power in the U.S. Customary System, equal to 745.7 watts or 33,000 foot-pounds per minute
That's the dictionary response... is the difference just in how they are measured?1979 XS1100 Special with 81 carbs

If there isn't any other available info, I would speculate that "rear wheel horsepower" would be the same as bhp and "flywheel horsepower" would measured as just hp instead of bhp?1979 XS11F Standard - Maya - 1196cc (out of order)

Seems to me I read something..somewhere that said the the original definition of horsepower was the "ability to move 18,000 lbs, one foot in one minute" I aint sure zactly but I am pretty sure its something like that...
And the actual and reported horsepower for almost any engine can be WAY misleading..(I have a 78 plymouth fury "old squadcar" the 440 in it is rated at 195hp at 5200 rpm) Trust me when I say they lied!! Got the time slips to prove it.
For nowdays almost everything is rated at "the wheel" with everything that can be turned on is, and running.'81 sh " Maime" The Nature of The Beast
