Official Specs and Licence Laws

[ParksOnFire]

For anyone who is interested in this I have found some official specs which confirm what has been said about metric horsepower. Yamaha are indeed stating 95hp as metric horsepower/PS instead of BHP.  As limax2 said it is nothing new and is done quite often as you can state a higher number. In this case 95hp(metric) instead of 93.7bhp. This means it falls exactly within the new specifications as the maximum is 93.87bhp / 95.17hp(metric) / 70kW.

This is a spec sheet from Yamaha stating 69.9kW and 95hp(metric). Doesn't get anymore official than that.
