if you dont know what bhp is, its brake horse power, it is worked out by multiplying the torque by the numberb of cylinders (i think)

ps. 1 horse has 0.7bhp, the bloke who worked this out assumed a horse has x2 strength as a pony which drew his carriage and this stuck, thhat is why there are many variations of horsepower/brakehorsepower now

BHP to CC relationship how can we relate BHP to CC How can 150CC bike produce 20 BHP where as an 350CC bike just produces 18 BHP?

cc is used to know about the engine size.....where as bhp tells you how much power is delivered at shaft ....it doesn't mean that larger engine size will produce more bhp than smaller one....both are different.....cc - cubic centimetres . to measure the engine displacement .bhp - brake horse power . to measure the power of a vehiclet's just a way to compare engines.The number of cc's the related to an engine, is the size of the engine. The actual size of the combustion chambers where the fuel is burned. Normally, the higher the cc's, the more fuel burned, therefore the more power.bhp is the actual horsepower put out by the engine as built, before attached to the car, which will be lower, as a nominal amount of horsepower is needed to turn the driveshaft and drive gears.t's just a way to compare engines.
