My ktm 525 exc produced about 80hp and that's 525cc 4 stroke. Either way technology is amazing to see where we will be in 10-20 years. Figure the old chevy 350 was the work horse every body turned to for 300 hp and now we have 3.6 L six bangers making that with all the emission crap. It's a great time to be alive if your a motor head like just about all of us on here!!!

My 800cc skidoo was 150hp stock, and more with simple mods.

The thing about 2 cycle engines is that they make hp with high rpm. MPG's is usually not good with a 2 cycle. The EPA doesn't like them, and that's why most of the manufacturers of boats, outboards, ATV's, and snowmachine manufacturers are switching over to 4 cycle engines.

I was about to say the exact same thing, except about my Polaris

Maybe I'm too tired to remember right now, but do you recall what the sleds are putting out for tq?

No, I sure don't. Pulled pretty hard on my shoulders though.
