HP is just shy of a stock FD

Or you can just by the engine and slap it in a frame for a fraction of the cost

On a sport bike? No. The reason all sport bikes, race quads, and dirtbikes still use chain vs belt and/ shaft is because they weigh significantly less, they are very simple and cheap designs, and you experience less power loss transferred thru the chain versus shaft or belt.
