Your average Hawk, with no mods but a main jet to correct fueling, maybe 12hp. It's not just the peak power that matters though, but where the peak is, and the shape of the power curve. The Honda has a higher peak, and has better power "under the curve." You noted that too in your reply, making 10hp across a wide range at the top of the RPM curve. The Hawks peak about 7000-7500 and nose dive hard after that.
