‘The “Super 32 Rovescio” Euro 3 engine can have displacements ranging from 1850 cc to 2100 cc, a power ranging from 160 bhp to 250 bhp, and torque values between 16.5 and 24.5 kgm, without the use of compressors.’

16.5kgm converts to 162Nm or 119ft-lb

24.5kgm converts to 240Nm or 177ft-lb

wheres the advantage in this move

well, if you recall Husaberg`s experiment with its radical 70-degree engine from a couple years back, the stated goal was to get the crank (more precisely its gyroscopic effect) as close tot eh center of mass as possible, thereby reducing its effect on the handling of the bike. While I never rode one, all the reviews I read said the bike was remarkably agile for its weight (450cc-570cc four-stroke dirtbike after all, not exactly a 125cc 'crosser from days of yore). Perhaps this was the goal here too.......
