| Yep, 85 BHP out of a four-stroke single that peaks at 6500 RPM is ludicrous, despite the fact it´s widely reported. The torque on this bike is 30 ft-lbs at 5500 RPM, which would equate to only 37.1 HP even if it could sustain its maximum torque at full revs, which of course it can´t. To achieve 80 BHP, the engine would have to maintain it´s maximum torque of 30ft-lbs all the way up to 14,000 revs. Good luck with that. The most accurate figure I have seen is 36 HP, here: https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/honda_xr500r_79.html |
