Drive Belt

How much horsepower can a motorcycle drive belt handle?

Many new motorcycles use a belt rather than a chain to transfer the power from the transmission to the rear wheel. For my senior project my team is building an engine dynamometer and we are considering using a motorcycle drive belt and pulleys set up to connect the engine to the brake. I am wondering what the highest power these types of belts can handle. Thank you in advance.

The Buell 1125R is rated at 146hp and is belt-driven.
