To be blunt, the answer is no when compared to the top-end ponies. BUT, even after I've done all the mods to my ride, I still have enough grunt left to putt along trails all day long in 6th gear with out ever coming close to the power band. I putt around in forests, and even crawl over boulders (long story) when ever I want. No, I can't pull a wheely right off the bottom end like, say, a 500 can. But, like I've said before, you have to give a little to get what you want.
