Here is a dyno run by sport rider that I believe was way high, but then it would also show that a bump up to 150 HP is not as far fetched as some would believe.

Okay! I can't figure you out! Do you think it's possible or not?

I posted numbers that claim 121 hp at the rear wheel which makes 135 hp VERY possible and 150 hp "attainable". I think you are looking at TLS numbers or something when you post "88-92 hp numbers. TLRs routinely made "around" 120 hp out of the box.
Oh and to answer someone's question as to why they would "neuter" a bike.... PLS-"post litigation syndrome", Suzuki got raped after a couple guys lost it on that bike in Europe, so they "cut off one of it's balls" before exporting it here. They also added a steering stabilizer. They did something similar to the GSXR1100.
Manufacturers throw away horse power all the time, for safety reasons, drivability, to make a MPG number, to make emission tests, to save money on more expensive parts/manufacturing processes, etc. The bottom line is that with the original numbers you were using, I would say no fucking way could you get those results with "bolt-ons" but now that I have more "accurate" starting numbers, I don't see why a guy couldn't see those kinds of peak hp numbers taking into account dyno variations, etc.
