Generally they are out of a 1000cc bike. Yamaha YZF-R1, Suzuki GSXR1000, or Kawasaki ZX-1. Some people run Honda's, but the engines haven't been competitive for the last 7-8 years. A stock engine with no modifications make around 180 Hp at the crank. Can find engines out of wrecked bikes for as little as $500-$1000, we had one last season we bought for under $1000 and ran for an entire season with the AMSA. Many convert the injection to methanol and an after-market airbox which which runs around $2000. Provides a small performance increase and is alot safer.

Hope this helped.
