Two different things entirely.
cc is Cubic Centimeters - tells you how much fuel and air is displaced on a full revolution of the motor. a 4-cylinder 1000cc motor can 'fit' 250 cubic centimeters of air and fuel mix inside each cylinder beteen the piston and the head, when it's at full bottom stroke. In two revolutions it'll displace 1000 cc's.
Hp is Horsepower, or how fast the motor (or rear wheel, depending on what's being measured) can 'spin up' from one given RPM (revolution per minute) to another. A high horsepower motor can accelerate (spin up) very fast, whereas a low-horsepower motor can possibly reach the same speed but takes longer to get there.
Torque is a measurement of how much the motor can 'pull'... or the amount of work being performed. A torquey motor can pull the bike from a standing stop without needing to spin up first... meaning it'll pull well in high gear at low RPM. Whereas a high-horsepower/low torque motor needs to be clutched from higher RPM to keep it from stalling... and probably won't do too well in the wrong gear either, tending to stall or bog down.
So, depending on how the motor is engineered, one 250cc motor might give you... 50hp... another... perhaps 80 or 90. It all depends on the way the motor is made (bore and stroke, tuning, head design, flysheel and gearing, etc etc).

You cant make a conversion like that.
cc = cubic centimeters, the displacement of the engine cylinders. Basically, how big they are.
1 hp = how much energy required to lift 1 pound 1 foot vertically. or something similar to that.
You cant convert beteen the two because there are so many factors involved... airflow, fuel type, ratio of air:fuel, efficiency of the burn, etc.
For example. Say my engine gets 110 hp and has a displacement of... whatever cc's. If I slap a turbocharger on that same engine, it doesnt change the cc's, but the increased efficiency of the burn can almost double the HP output.
try again!

CC is a measure of the displacement in the cylinder from tdc to bdc and has nothing at all to do with hp. A one cylinder motor of a given cc won't have near the hp of an 8 cylinder motor of the same displacement per cylinder. The combined effect of the cc per cylinder is measured in leaders, but still gives no indication of the hp at all.

It depends on the compression, the quality of the engine, and other factors.
