Honda torque numbers

[ODAMO]

Honda lists the HP of various machines But What are the torque numbers? It would be nice to know what the torque curves look like.

The Honda DTC makes the gas engines like diesels. The tq is double the hp

My guess is somewhere around 60 lb/ft of engine torque. At 47:1 low range that’s roughly 2800 lb/ft at any given wheel when locked.

I did find this.

P1000 - Engine Output - torque and horsepower

This is obviously late, by a few years. And, for all I know, duplicates something already here. In my defense, two years ago I did not know, or care, what a P1k was. On the bright side, this topic seems to bring out the best in people. Cycle World (CW) magazine and Motorcycle.com (MCDC)...

Thanks for the link, I have seen that before and it is interesting.
It would be cool to see Honda’s info to see where and how much power was added. It’s too bad Honda doesn’t like to share that info.

Years ago Honda dropped HP and Torque specs on all the General Purpose Engines. Due to the fact that lawsuits were brought to some manufacturers that exaggerated HP ratings. Since there were no standards, some companies were removing mufflers and air filters to get their readings.

Honda being very "law suit conscious" decided to just give size measurements in cc's, such as GX390 or GXV340. I don't know if this followed into power sports but it could be the reason Honda is not forthcoming with the info.
