The horsepower wars are upon us. No, I'm not talking about the great horsepower, or rather, displacement wars, between sportbike manufacturers in the late 1990s which ultimately led to a Gentleman's Agreement.

It began with Polaris' RZR, which was then trumped by Can-Am's Maverick X3 series. Polaris would up the ante with the RZR Pro R, followed suit by Can-Am Maverick R. Kawasaki's has also entered the picture and thrown down the gauntlet with the brand's new Teryx H2, a 250 horsepower supercharged maniac. Heck, maybe even Toyota is getting in on it, too. You could also, theoretically, include the all-electric Vanderhall Brawley, which boasts a whopping 400 horsepower.
You could, I wouldn't.
