For reference, a ninja 250 has 27 kW, weighs 350 lb, and costs only $4500. (And if driven carefully apparently can get 80mpg.)

My personal reference point is my old 1984 GSX-R400. Which has 59hp == 44kW and weighs around 165kg.

It felt fast enough, but was by no means the fastest bike around. I can't imagine less than a quarter of that power being enough.
