Powerwise:
Superstock around 190-200
BSB 220 seems to be number bandied with no rider aids
Road superbikes about 230 with limited rider aids (ABS and thats about it)
WSB **** knows, Aprilia claim about 250 (aka MotoGP power levels) with rider aids


A lot does depend on the nut at the helm stretching the throttle cables
