Depends on how much you want to spend?

If you punch the motor out, 131 RWHP and 119 TQ are possible

Yes.
And, without defining "reliable" the question is moot...

my sentiments entirely : ) Reliability is a very subjective subject. My idea of reliability is that the bike should last for a whole year without a major rebuild (even a race bike!).

130bhp would probably entail an engine life between rebuilds of significantly less than I would be happy with......and it I wanted 130bhp I would buy another bike anyway ; )

weak points are cases/pulling studs on big bores, and rod big ends. 2008 and up crank fixies the rod issue. The best I have done with a stock bore XB12 is 114rwhp (dynojet 200i). That motor has been together for 4 years, although it only has about 7 weekends on it in two seasons of racing.
