at least 150bhp what choices have i got? its going to be mid mounted so just about any will do but needs to be inline not V-twin and about 150bhp or more.

2004 onwards R1, busa. GSXR 1000?

Kawasaki ZX9R with a dynojet kit / foam airfilter gives approx 150

Look left

all superbikes after 1998 have around these figures

triumph 955i, 147 bhp.

got a kit for sale if your interested

I thought they were arounnd 120 bhp if you were lucky? It was the 1200i that hit that sort of number!?

ZZR1100 147bhp & easily tunable for more, plus more torque than most, needs no mods like dry sump/baffling etc & comes without exploding clutch/gearbox as fitted to the R1 & it's half the price, buy a pre '95 one & no Cat emmissions test either

You can put virtually all R1 engines on that list, not just post 04 engines, my 03 engine put out 138bhp at the wheels on a borrowed Power Commander map, and Ive seen several properly set up with a bit more, carbed engines as well as injected.

The advantage of the superbike engines (R1, ZX9, blade, GSXR1000 etc) is that they're lighter than the more touring orientated engines like the ZZR1100 and Blackbird, so even if they sometimes don't quite have as much peak torque, thats offset by the weight saving
