Really though I don't know much about dirt bikes or tards.

Mine: 366 pounds, 132 HP = 2.77 lbs per hp
And most of those guys are probably on converted MX bikes. YZF's, CRF's etc. On those bikes there is a lot more maintainence, but that's the way they're designed and built, also, a lot of those guys who race will rebuild their motor between seasons to keep it at peak power. If you get a purpose-built street tard like an SMC, DRZ-SM, or a WR250X, or a dual-sport big bore converted to a tard (XR650) then the maintainence wont be bad at all.

BTW, were talking rear wheel, not crank, try about 110hp, then it's 3.3lbs per hp.
