Straight from Power Commander Website; performed on a Versys, not sure year model but little to nothing has changed - as one can see, very little performance increase except in the lower throttle range where Torque matters more than HP which is typical with add-on fuel injection computers; torque gets you going faster from start, not horse power and one can see there is no torque measurement provided which is typical from after market fuel controller providers unless you are going with something like MOTEC or another very high end race computer application because they don't want to show this number because generally it's 0-2 (sometimes nothing) or even in some cases less than factory specs.
Additionally it doesn't state, or maybe I missed something, so feel free to correct me, are any other things that where changed such as exhaust, air filter, spark plugs, etc which would invalidate the computers added performance as a stand alone add-on performance improver. So without this additional information, if something else was changed you won't get the same performance increase. Is this worth approximately 15,000+ baht after import fees and shipping, some would say yes, some would say no.
It's all a matter of what one wants but the fact is this type of performance gain in regards to improved speed or power is minimal at best. Bike or car might idle better or have smoother transition throughout the throttle range BUT that doesn't equate to improved performance in relation to power and it is also in relations to environmental conditions such as atmospheric pressure, air temp, etc.

I thought this what I said this a week ago:
"What is not debatable is that one can make the bike run better than the factory as one is not constrained by emissions or noise regulations. On a stock bike the descerning rider will see smoother running and no dead spots in throttle response. On a slightly modified bike it is far more noticable and almost a given when one starts increasing air flow through the engine."
Perhaps I need to be a bit clearer
