they both put between 40 and 45, depending what you give them for breakfast.
more than enough to be competitive in most racing mx disciplines. and to rip my arms off.

It's from 2004, but here's a RM250 making ~46 hp.

Just about the same for a 2008 300 XC

Hard to compare apples to apples though, as different dyno's will give different results, and we also don't know if temp/humidity/elevation corrections were made.

Remember that this chart was with probably fairly new engines that were running right.

For either of those two bikes the correct answer is "more than you can use in the conditions the bike was designed for".
