How heavy is the engine? If it's like 150kilos, compared to say a 50kilo 1 liter engine on a highe end sports bike, you're essentially doubling the weight of the bike in question versus a good sports bike.
At 500hp or more, the hp per ton will still be very impressive, but then comes another problem, notably fuel consumption.
You can only put so much fuel into a bike fuel tank, and with this V12 definitely consuming 2 or 3 times as much fuel as a very fast bike with a ~1000cc engine (just at lower revs), you'll run out of fuel between gas stations...
I wonder why they bother... probably just for drag races *shrug*
