Yes I have the same name on the TW forum. And yes the TW does have 16 hp @ 8,000 RPM and 11 torque @ 7,000 RPM lol. At least according to a couple of appearantly reliable and accurate internet sources that I've seen... I just bought a 97 Suzuki DR200 which makes 20 hp @ 8,500 RPM and 13 torque @ 7,000 RPM. I can definitely notice the difference. It has WAAY taller gearing and still has power to pull 80 mph with relative ease. My TW has 14/55 gearing, the DR has stock 15/45 sprockets.
I doubt it even has that! It's an awesome bike though and will take you anywhere. I take it your the same kj7687 from tw200forum. I am peelu there, although I can not get my password to work after reformatting my computer.
Nice hill climb by the way. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've had my TW up. If you haven't yet, I'd reccomend a 55 tooth rear sprocket. It will make the bike feel way torquier when climbing hills in second gear.
I know you're kidding, but for those who don't: this isn't the biggest hill in Alberta. The biggest is at least 30 feet higher than this.

Well I don't know about the rear wheel. But at the crank it's got 16 hp and 11 lb. ft. of torque.
