Yep.   And id DID get off the line rather nicely, what with that mild camshaft that concentrated most power in the lower rpm area.   

It's a great around-town engine, smooth and tractable and quick on the throttle, and its 95hp 164" cousin is pretty much similar in performance.   

I have no issues with an early 80hp engine at all, not even that 140ci 80hp exclusive to the 1960 models.
