The engine feels a LOT smoother.. probably a result of better balancing, machining and the fact that the timing chain is now inbetween the cylinders instead of off to one side. Plus it's 10cc larger! It's like having a supercharger on it. No but seriously it's more powerful, probably a larger carb? I haven't measured it and I'm sure someone here knows. And the transmission gear ratios are different. Transmission is improved as well. I can pull up hills much easier on my CA160. I've also mentioned that I've been on the freeway doing 65 on my CA160. There is no way I could do that on my Benly. The engine would explode.
