The discussion was, from my view, whether a larger stroke creates a different power characteristics as regards hp and torque.
I have then elaborated that larger bore also has other benefits, whereas long stroke has it's benefits.
We have probably been talking past each other in these posts. To me the reasons why a 458/Ducati 848 engine is oversquare and a high torque low rev engine (such as the HD 883) is undersquare confirms my view on the difference and advantages of over- vs undersquare.
