horsepower and torque,,new dirt rider article.

Well yes and no. If all things are the same between the bikes, weight, all gearing and tire size then yes. HP is a product of torque and RPM. Then you have the torque curve wich may be steeperon another motor just above where they tested this Yamaha. Where did they measure the torque? It probably would be better down low but there are other factors that play into it...
