92 HP, 755cc Parallel-Twin Motorcycle Engine

Bit of 'journalese' there.... 'almost twice', an extra 34 over 58?? (59%) Yes, big difference though.

Oh.. and about 4-5 ft/lb of torque.
 
Yes there is.
And there is this.
"The Hornet also packs a 270-degree crank, which, for the uninitiated, means it doesn’t sound boring and lame, like the bog-standard 360-degree crank, which has the pistons rising and falling together. It sounds a little more rough, like a V-twin."

As we all know, the 360 crank sounds glorious. It's the 180 that sounds boring and lame...

Looks like a fun engine non the less.

Who thinks Honda is going to go Flat Tracking!?!?! Easy to make it flat 750. If not factory backed Privateers will!

Good point? Let’s hope so!

That looks a great unit. One of my hates is how unnecessarily big and heavy many modern bikes are. That unit will make a great roadster, cafe racer, etc. But most of all, it could be used to make a very usable and considerably ‘lighter than the rest’ adventure bike… well here’s hoping…

Some old bikes are pretty heavy too
My t160 seems to be getting heavier every year
I would not choose to ride anything heavier than that
