In all seriousness 125's need more torque than horsepower.

in the world of horsepower there is more guesswork than actual factual numbers. to get that kind of accuracy every time you would need a government funded research lab with a handful of nasa physics guys. and every motor would have to be run on the same machine, to rule out errors.

Run it all year hard (race every weekend, and lots of practice) changed piston 4 times this year. Had no crank problems with the stroker crank, it lasted all year(Motul oil). Had to change the clutch plate's alot. Other than that had no problems.
It will pull a modified 250f "no problem" Bike RIPS!

KTM 125's do make around 37 to 38 horsepower, but they are class leaders in hp. A 98' CR125 makes around 32 . and the cr 450 makes 54. i guess as long as you are willing to keep dumping money into it you can get some 40+ hp but why not just move up to a 250? i moved from a 125 at 15 to a xr 500 then a 600 and to a cr500, i will never go back to those lil 125's but then im not a moto-x er im a desert racer.

Haha tell that to the shifter kart engine builders. Those motors are tuned to only make power from 11K-14K use special oil and make every ounce of power a 125cc smoker is capable and there is NO way there are only making 30ish:lol:
Road race 125cc bikes are making close to 50hp BTW.

CRANK Horsepower Est. @ 10,500-11,000 (below are est. on what CRANK h.p. you can get out of certain motor displacements. They are est. because alot depends on how the rest of the motor is set up. The higher you peak it out in rpms the more h.p. (kart Motor)
125cc 32-36
132cc 36-38
144cc 38-41
153cc 41-43+
KTM 125 motor is set up really good out of the box 35-36 est.
To get 40h.p. out of a 125 you would have to raise the peak power in rpms12,000+ and It would take a certain riders to ride a top end power motor in MX outdoors and indoors.

I got one(homelite 30cc) for kick and giggles I took the cylinder added two more transfer ports(4ports) and made a triple port exhaust, high comp. head, made a tuned pipe for it(Open stinger). It peaks out at 14,700rpm @ 7.1h.p. it screams. The neighbors hate it, LOL.

Can you get 40hp out of a 125, sure you can. Heck some of the 125 GP roadrace engines are in the 50hp neighborhood. THing is, they will have a high, narrow peaky power curve. Our old race engiens were generally down a couple of hp or more to our competitions, which was fine with us. Our motors were set-up not for peak hp, but to have a wider, broader power band to maximise the amount of time spent running it under the curve where it is making power.
