I read a comment from someone stating that this engine makes 58hp, but nowhere on the internet can I even find a website/magazine article with this called out. This sounds plausible based on displacement and the level of refinement and technology in this engine. The most powerful of all KTM 300 (292cc) engines in it's hottest tune state makes 55hp, so adding 35cc to that, it is certainly plausible at 58hp.

Yeah, whomever said that 58hp number, while a plausible one, pulled it from somewhere it stinks and the sun don't shine! :mrgreen:
