In racing motorcycles they achieve around 2000 hp per litre but this from two stroke engines with more than two cyclinders but if you could reach this level of efficiency then 1200cc could get 2400 hp without turbo or super charging or nitrous oxide. With a blown, nitrous injected engine running on high octane fuel you could get around 4000 hp but only in theory

never the same on 2 engines depends on how its tuned and also how its geared for example if you were to compare a kawasaki z650 engine it has 64 hp compared to an fzr 600 engine which is smaller but throws out 100 hp , other factors are compression ratio fuel injection v carbs and the general efficiency of the engine and air/fuel mixture try riding a 1300cc harley then try a yamaha rd350 the 350cc will blow it away.
as the harley is heavy and the 350 is light so it will have a higher horsepower to weight ratio which is what matters if you want speed,
or if you mean what is the highest hp ever achieved from this size and design this would appear to be the KTM RC8 1150, 1150cc V-twin, billed as the most powerful twin ever! with 160bhp at the rear wheel (this is the highest i can find on the net)
also you dont state if you mean hp from the engine or usable hp after the transmission drive etc. has absorbed some of the power

The Evolution is the greater effective engine. It runs cooler, gets greater effective gasoline mileage and is greater trouble-free to maintain. the twin Cam runs large warm,and its cam chain tensioner is a nightmare to maintain. Its heads are underbuilt so people could desire to spend a lot of money to get greater effective overall performance, enormously from the unique 88" engine. Crank runout is a considerable subject with the greater moderen engines. no longer that the Evo did no longer have its very own problems, yet ordinary it extremely is a a lot greater effective engine.

Hi. Only the power that would cause the rotating parts to fail. You can always use nitrous, supercharging, timing and fuel management to improve right up to the point of failure. Ever watch "The World's Fastest Indian"? Check it out.

it all depends on your budget
