    Horsepower from Torque

    • Horsepower is a direct result of the amount of torque an engine produces. Taking the torque of 53.5 foot-pounds, multiplied by 7000 rpm, then divided by 5252, you'll find a stock CX650C produces 71 horsepower, 60 of which makes it to the rear wheel with a top speed of 111 miles per hour.
