[QUOTE="Matt Fisher, post: 1235837, member: 30255"] A good running 250 pinger makes about 45hp, the CR500 makes about 55hp, with the 450's splitting the difference. The CR500 went through several years of mild massaging from 85 to 91, mostly aimed at toning down the power and making it more manageable. Honda also set up the motor to have a pretty hard hit down low which gave it weaker dyno numbers than the Kawi or KTM. The KX was more powerful than the CR, but the KTM 500 made more power (low 60's) than the KX500. KTM's 550 made the same top-end as their 500, but had even more low and midrange power. Whenever you start making close to 50hp, it ceases to be about how much power you can make, and becomes how manageable the power is. Exceptions to this would be for drag races, hill climbing, and riding in the sand (where too much is just right). [/QUOTE]
