Fairly low for a motorcycle.  If they had used four
ZX-10R or GSX-R1000 motors, they'd have something more
like 680 bhp at the clutch without any mods at all to
the top end, pistons, and rods, or the EFI system
(although they'd need 4x the volume at rated pressure
over the stock in-tank motorcycle pump, which
shouldn't be hard to do with aftermarket automotive
pumps).

Alternately, they could have the same power output out
of 2.4 liters if they used GSX-R600 or R6 motors.  Of
course, it's a lot less money to buy four FZ-1 motors
from a junkyard than to buy four cutting-edge
sportbike motors...
