Okay, I'll admit I don't know much about crotch rockets, but this seems like a fake to me. To you guys who know more than me, is 700hp and 330 lb-ft really possible?

It's possible... not practical unless it's solely for the drag strip.

Since when is the word practical associated with anything fun?

Yeah, but this is a 80" engine and a sub 600lbs bike. It's rediculous. There's no way you could even use half of that.

Nah. You'd need about 50,0000 rpms to get 700 hp out of an engine that small

I personally know of a Sport bike getting 400 hp to the bike tire. I would not be surprised by that much hp but they would have to prove it.
