It could be nitroused. 82bhp wouldnt be unachievable. as said, a dyno printout would be good.
Too many bikes, so little time!

Re: Am I in the ballpark
I understand your getting a bit miffed if people want to steal your ideas but i dont really think thats the main reason your asked , "what did you do to get that " . its more a matter of , "shit hot , there is a chance for my engine yet ".
I have a friend here in N.Z. with a ZXR 400 H1 and he has bored it to 450 cc and reground the cams and changed all the ignition etc and fitted bigger carbs and lightened the crank with a knife edge as well , lots of gearbox mods etc etc etc..... well he took it to the local reputable dyno alot of us use and we all got quite excited (and worried) when it registered 85 R/W HP.
The problem that developed was it shat its undies after every couple of race meetings and thats what happens when you stress a standard street bike designed engine to try and make it a race engine.
This engine of my friend cost over $5000.00 $NZ ( about 7 euros in your UK money) and it was a waste of time except the learning curve . He now has a reasonably stock motor with reliable power and no more bi-monthly bills to rebuild it.
He can race with fun now and not with a horrid cheque book balance.
