Here's the idea, I'm gonna take off the wheels, replace the rear with a ducted fan, slap wings on it and see if it flys.
Before you get all, BAH! PROPSTEROUS! I SAY, PROPOSTEROUS INDEED, yes I am an aircrarft engineer.

So I need a sports bike with hmmm, say 500 hp or so give or take a 100, which weighs around 300pounds, giver or take 50.

any ideas?
 
The most powerful sport bikes are the 1000cc class and in stock condition have less than 200HP and weigh in at over 400 pounds. Yes there are some Suzuki Hyabusas out there pushing 500HP but I am sure engine life at that level would not be dependable.
 
You don't need that much HP for such innovative experiments. Maybe:

Powered by a Rolls Royce-Allison gas turbine engine, the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE™ has demonstrated over 320-HP and 425-ft/lbs of torque on the Dyne Jet 200 and has been clocked at a record breaking 227-mph.

& not a very good one at that...

cant even google weight of motor cycles..

or bike specs.. if you did you could go to a site & see that you don't get that much.. or that light..

and its spelt."PREPOSTEROUS" & " aircraft " even engineers cant spell now... OMG..
 
a turbo charged busa may put out about 375 ponies but even minus the wheels,the weight that you are asking for will be a lot more than the 300-350 range! An 09 busa weighs approx 575 dry weight
 
What songs do you want played at your memorial. There aren't any 500 hp motorcycle engines and when you modify one to anywhere near that output I would seriously worry about its reliability.

One solution to the cost is using LED spotlight bulbs that decrease the amount of energy required to light your home. While the older bulbs had to be changed frequently, you get the added benefit of changing the new ones only every few years.
