Probably @ 70hp. It's the Hyosung 650 v-twin motor they are using. It looks neat though. It would have to be light though in order to have a decent power to weight ratio.

Look's good, regardless of who make's the motor a 650 v twin wouldn't be that exciting would it? Don't Hyosung make that engine for suzuki too?

Nope. From what i understand, Hyosung's motor is an almost facsimile of the Suzuki donk, but they are in fact not the same motor. Hysong make theirs, and Suzuki make theirs.

and the hyosung is reputed to make more HP.
interesting little tid bit from last weekend.......2 riders we riding the new ducati 1000 sport (the ye ole style looking one) and one on a triumph thruxton

, both tapped out were overtaken quite easily by a suzuki vstrom 650
still, i'd have a thruxton....i love them and that ducati with a few tastefull mod's looked horn. look for an upcomming test in a future issue of amcn - incidentially its tested against the thruxton
