I agree with Tim on HP figure being as important as torque, here's an example for those who feel torque is all that matters. These numbers are from Honda , I did not dyno these motors. A 2010 Honda CBF 125 makes 8.3 ft.lbs of torque @6250 rpm and 11.3 HP @8000, a 2001 Honda V-twin Varadero makes slightly less torque 7.9 ft.lbs at 9500 rpm but because of having much higher rpm capabilities, makes 15 HP @ 11,000 rpm. You see , torque alone does not tell the whole story. Jon
