Even my air-cooled Suzuki 250X7 had 27HP in 1979. You have really got to want a Meteor 350 to live with 20HP.

All this discussion about horsepower has me wondering....it is a thumper, so what's the torque figure?

Per Cycle World “On our in-house dyno this little single puts 17.4 peak hp and 18.2 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheel,”

The Kawi did 26.8 peak hp and 12.2 ft lb @ 9900 rpm. Redline was 12500

Ah ok. So I guess you could say that's the difference. Like any typical thumper it brings the torque early but lacks raw horsepower and has no top end.

Exactly
I failed to mention in first in detail how good the paint and chrome looked
The bike appeared to be very well put together
I would gladly pay an extra 1000 if they would drop their new 650 twin in this bike

Sadly it's probably going to cost as much as the interceptor and Conti GT, so a bit more than a 1000 than the Meteor

'14 CB1100 STD 5 speed Thanks for that update, my first impression was that it looks very similar to a Kawasaki Vulcan, which is already available. Putting the 650 engine in the Meteor frame would be more visually appealing to me
