Give it 2/3 years and nakeds will have 200+BHP. Top end Superbikes are all over that figure now and the engines will eventually filter down the range. It's only the electronics that make them rideable on the road, switch off the TC/Anti-wheelie and they become almost unrideable (at least if you open the throttle up to the max).

I've always found 90-110bhp to be more than adequate for my needs. That said I'm still pleased that bike manufacturers have the freedom to produce engines with no restriction on output.
