Nice one Deltaf - it is to transplant onto a gearbox kart chassis so sprocket must be on the right.

am looking for around 85 - 110 bhp

Can't think of anything with the sort of power your looking for, I seem to remember that BMW did some of their shaft drive models on the right but you may have problems hooking them up to your gearbox. The only chain drive ones I can think of are small Italian bikes, Cagiva 125cc for example. Also some of the Supermotard road bikes, big single cylinders, but again nowhere near 100bhp.
If I find anything I'll let you know

The 70's / 80's Laverda 1000 / 1200 triples from the Jota / Mirage / RGS etc had the sprocket on the rhs.....
They also had some serious grunt although not sure what the peak bhp was.....
Sound awesome too!

most snowmobiles are two-stroke, the icelandic racing ones produce stupid power for the size of the engine

so why has the sprocket got to be on the right?
do you have solid rear axle or have you got a diff?
if solid then its a very simple case of moving the sprocket on the axle to a better position.
once done the choice of engines becomes limitless

Solid read axle but sprocket must be on the right to get inside the rear tyre, dont want to widen the rear track.

As you can see even the existing KTM engine is to wide to accomodate spocket on the left
