Tuner.
$30k for a 200hp bike that includes labor - that's alotta dough but seems about right for a true 200hp (hopefully thats RWHP too).
Of course yer prolly not gonna get a buncha miles outta that motor but hey, if ya had $30k ta burn in the first place then I guess it's be no biggie.

I wanna see the Dyno slip. I have a hard time believing it has 200 bhp with just blueprinting, pipe and cams. 200 hp at the crank would be my guess, just like most liter bikes with cams and a pipe that have been tuned.

what the heck is that 19% Value Added Tax (had to look it up) for? sounds like "motorway thievery" to me

We get charged VAT every time we do a show (like the upcoming Munich/Intermot). But as an exhibiting company from the USA, we can get it back by filing a mountain of paperwork.
200 hp at the rear on the CBR is a reality. Ten Kate has a reputation of building some of the fastest Hondas, so I probably would not doubt it with them. It's just surprising they can build/sell them for so little.

I have just read a short test of the Ten Kate Blade in a Dutch mag. Ten Kate claims it has 180 SAE HP at the rear, some 200 at the crank

30 G's for a Honda sounds a little much to me. I paid 9500.00 for the ZX10 and I cant see what spending 20 grand more could be any better............

Seems like you could run low boost turbo set up(installed) and have reliable power for thousands of miles and save yerself bout $15k.

I personally dont believe its 200 HP at the rear wheel......I think thats crankshaft HP or maybe the clutch......just my opinion.
