I agree with Bruce, the legislators won't allow us to keep getting more powerful bikes, there is going to be some kind of law that will limit how much we're going to be allowed to ride. There's already a 100hp limit in France and the EU is talking about an umbrella law to limit speed and horsepower. When that happens, the days of sportbikes are over my friends, since why would Honda/Suzuki/Ducati etc spend millions on developing a bike that nobody can buy? Better get used to a cruiser.
i agree that there is a good possibility that there will be restrictions imposed but there already are as you mentioned many countries have them already but there are ways around it
such as in japan all cars can only have 280 horsepower, so manufacturers rate there cars at 280 even though many cars have way more
another way to get around it is to restrict them like apprillias and r7s come with in the states, you just have to UNRESTRICT them when you buy them
many dealers unrestrict them before you even buy them
so dont worry boys there is always hope
