Hugh,
I think it's fairly safe to say that any old anything would eat them. I'm generally amazed by the amount of grunt my old H and JD 60 have every time I use them. In general I think the problem is this - it's cheaper to make high revving / low torque engines than it is to make slow revving / high torque engines and still keep that magic HP number in the same ballpark so people will buy them. In other words, most people are buying in a way Tim's post indicates, and concentrating on HP numbers. Long stroke/high torque engines just require heavier parts and more cost in materials - and that's it in a nutshell. If the newer machines didn't have mega choices in gearing, people would be really upset about the kinds of engines being made now.
