1 HP = 0.746 kW As I have seen in manual the spec is 58 hp or equivalent to 43 kW. Derek is probably realistic in his math. Regards, Pete ... From: Derek

86 Radian. It was running along fine, then after some nice speed runs over a series of speed bumps(a dozen or so) it is now idling really high. Also bogs abit

I've had my '86 Radian a year and for the first time ever two people have recognized it as a Radian this month and were surprised to see one! Made me feel so
