Default what is the power loss through the drivetrain...

i was just wondering if anyone knew what the loss in horespower is (approximately) on a bike. specifically a 2001 929RR. i know on most hondas (cars), the horsepower loss from the crank to the wheels is about 15-16%. what is it on bikes? lets say your bike has a factory rating of 130 hp, what would the hp be to the wheels? thanks.

Typical 15% loss with a chain drive.
