I dont think honda was stupid enough for publishing combined max torque figure @
199nm and at the same time contradict themselves with dynograph showing max torque 170nm only....
14% is about right considering transmission + rolling resistance loss
After all, its a dyno graph. Usually done on-wheel.
S, according to user manual it means 'second', according to fanboy it means 'sport'.
Honda never stated the combined torque is 199nm. correct me if I am wrong.

I've never own a brand new Japan made car before, but both my previous recond' japanese cars with stock engine showed higher HP and torque compared to paper when do dyno test.
Actually I asked my friend to do the Dyno run but he refused. I will have to wait for my own car to get the result. Have to wait after the run in period

not so clear, but i was cruising 90km/h and using battery alone ...about 10seconds.
I think it has something to do with the ECU as well. Modern ECU learn the driver's driving habit. Also if it's going down slight slope you will get higher cruising speed.
In general the diameter of the wheel + friction + final gear ratio determine the cruising speed. (put aside weather, aerodynamic, ect... because those are vary from time to time)
