Husaberg has little horsepower?

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask out of curiosity if anyone knows why a Husaberg FE 600 actually has very little horsepower. I read in an advert where one is for sale that it only has 57 horsepower, but when you consider that a KTM SX 250 (2-stroke) already has 53 horsepower. I'd be interested to know because a 600cc bike normally has more horsepower.

Complete nonsense.

The KTM SX is a motocross bike. Questions about horsepower and top speed are completely irrelevant.

It's driven off-road, and it all comes down to driving skill and endurance. The best rider wins, not the fastest machine.

On the motocross race track, the speed is 30-60, but of course it feels much faster.

This 53 hp was measured on some test bench under some conditions, but it can't be compared to the "DIN hp." In other words, the figure is NOT official.

No, more displacement does not necessarily mean more horsepower.

an average 600 has much more horsepower

At twice the speed and with three more cylinders.

The engine of a CBR600RR weighs 62 kg, while that of the Te600 only weighs 28 kg.

No, that's not the case, especially with machines like these. You can't compare it to SSP.

Husaberg has few hp because there is no p in it.
