Probably a dyno run.  You get a graph of your engine's power output so you know its bands: torque and HP.

It's for boy racers.
You don't qualify!    :rofl
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The advertisement in the link confirms that it's a dyno run.
