Did your XR have more hp? Undoubtedly, because it was OHC, far more cutting edge at the time.......but the Japanese were also notorious for sometimes vastly overestimating also. It looked good in bike rags and brochures.
The CG is an archaic design, made to be whipped like a bad mule with zero maintenance in Third World countries. It's done that very well.
