talk to the MotoGP guys and see if you can get one of their old engines. Should only run a few tens of thousands of dollars
<sarcasm off>
seriously, though, why the hell would you want a bike with that much horsepower, unless you are going to be using strictly on the dragstrip or for MotoGP/Superbike races. You'll never be able to use that kind of power on the street, and you might find it rather difficult to control if you did.
