6.5 HP
Honda makes more than one type 160cc engine. The GC160 horizontal shaft outputs 5 h.p. The vertical shaft engine outputs 4.8 h.p.
It's a 13hp 4stroke motor, nice for pressure washers. Even better for go-karts!
The point at which the horsepower measurement is taken. A 100hp outboard engine may only deliver 87 horsepower to the propeller due to losses in the transmission and bearings. The engine horsepower is 100, but the shaft horsepower rating is 87 horsepower.
Drive shaft is vertical- like a lawnmower. Cylinder is horizontal.
According to Triumph, it is 54 bhp (brake horsepower) @ 6,750 rpm. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.

Vertical engines produce more power than horizontal engines and horizontal engine has less power than vertical engines and horizontal engines are especially designed for better mileage Not sure about mileage but the big difference is vertical shaft goes like this | and the horizontal shaft goes like this ---- . > Lower centre of gravity.
Shaft horsepower is the power output from an engine after it is put through the gear train and other components that result in a loss of power. It is usually used in respect to aeroplanes and ships though it can be used as the power output from a cars gearbox. Brake horsepower is the power an engine puts out at the crank and is not subject to losses. It is always higher than the true horsepower. The true horsepower or rear wheel horsepower is the power that is actually driving a vehicle foreward and is probably the most important for comparing motor vehicles. Horsepower itself is the imperial unit for power, like the metric systems Watt. 1 hp = 0.75kW
MARINE engines are designed to fit into boats and ships for propulsion units. They often drive a crank shaft, or in the case of turbine are connected to a reduction gear, which is coupled to the propeller shaft. Marine engines (piston) are often mounted vertically rather than horizontal to save space. Marine turbines are often smaller for the same horsepower output, and operate at higher speeds than power plant turbines to produce that horsepower.
Brake Horsepower - The actual or useful horsepower of an engine, usually determined from the force exerted on a friction brake or dynamometer connected to the drive shaft.
