not just a honda a bike engine a lot of power for a bike but not too much for a car , but i guess its curcuit/dex car and prob due to weight of the engine it was chosen

She will be lacking torque badly. I dunno why they decided on that option.

with the turbo , on there it will take up for the lack of low end power , however by how much thats' the trick.
