My Wolverine 450 has 26hp so his Honda should have around the same and I think the 660 has around 50hp.

My Briggs & Straton snowblower has almost 12 hp. I think the 250cc ATVs have more than 12hp.

I'm assuming you're referring to crank hp right?

Figured id share this i got it from another fourm and says these numbers come from the crank and not the wheel's..if anyone wants ill link em to the site...</end quote></div>

I dont know about the accuracy of these but having ridden with a lot of these wheelers the comparisons seem fairly accurate.....

 

You can look up HP numbers on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) site. You have to convert them from metric but they're certified numbers.

It's also good for getting a heads up on what manufacturers have coming on line as they usually post certifications pretty early on.

 

Those number look about right, The Can AM 500 & 650 must be at a high rpm to reach those HP numbers. Kinda like those 600cc Rice rocket motorcycles ,sure they have more HP than some 1000cc motorcycles but the need 11,000 rpm to achieve it, and have half the bottom and mid range torque.

 

Kawasaki says my 220 bayou had 17hp@7500 rpm. I upped the compression and put a bigger carb on with a KN filter and took the baffle out. Gotta be in the 20's now. So, I'm getting the same HP as a 400 Big Bear? LMAO

And I KNOW my 230 will out run and out pull the 220,,, probably even with the brakes on and towing a trailer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

30.9 cc are equal to 1 Hp. So the Honda 450 has 14.6 Hp and the Grizz 660 should have 21.3 If you look at the numbers it just doesn't look right, but I work for a man that sales Chuck Wagons and they say their pumping out 340 cc or 11Hp. Things you have to consider are transmission, pipes, and any other thing that may add power.

Ather Factors Besides Dissplacement.


a DOHC has more power than a SOHC.

2 Valve per cyclinder motors have less power than 4 Valve motors.

High Compression Ratio vs Low compression Ratio motors.

RPM : 100hp @ 11,000 from a small motor is not the same feeling as 100HP @ 4500 from a larger motor.

Carb size 40mm vs a 32mm carb

High Duration Cam vs a low Duration Cam.

My old 2 stroke Ski doo Elan 250 had 12.3 HP but a 250 2 stroke motocross bike has what, 30hp?
