A Torgue Monster!
I've got the 2 cylinder version of that YanMar engine in my Sailboat. (3 feet away from me at this very moment...)
My motor puts out only 12.5 HP @3400 RPM. But since it turns a propeller the name of the game is the ability to TWIST those 3 blades. Does that well enough to push my 30 foot sailboat through the water at hull speed: 6.5 Knots. Even when it's fulled loaded with people and all the gear they bring. Standard gasoline engines for my vessel are usually around 30-40 HP.
With that 3 cylinder motor I'd say that the bike could break loose the rear tire in the first three gears just by twisting the throttle.
