that would put Street Twin at 50 hp, Scrambler at 58 HP, T120 at 80 hp and Thruxton at 96 hp
The Street twin has fewer bhp than the old Bonneville but that's only half the story because many manufacturers, especially of retro machines, are much more interested in torque as riders of these bikes want pulling power from low revs. Triumph are making the Bonneville more of a street/tourer and are therefore sacrificing bhp for torque. I'd be happy never to see another bhp figure and just compare the torque statistics.
