Yup!! The 181 bhp of R1 or the Fireblade is also at the crank. At the back wheel r1 2010 is around 157 and Fireblade is a bit more.
The R1 is one of the lowest in terms of BHP. But both in R1 and the Fireblade (specially Fireblade) that this power is very usable unlike probably ZX10R which is around 10-12 bhp more but it is not that usable atleast on streets.

The difference in the BHP at crank and at the back wheel is generally around 17-18 bhp depending on the bike.

That is why in every test, every magazine, every website you will find a different bhp no for a bike.
