Nearly all jetskis are direct-drive without gear box. Most 4-stroke Yamahas (MR1 engine) have a reduction gear box.
Jet-pumps start being useless at around 7500 rpm.

The particular 1100 that is pictured above puts out about 110-120 HP, though torque is a much more meaningful number in this application.
The strongest stock Jetski engine made today is a Kawasaki 1498cc 4-stroke, super-charged and intercooled. It's sitting at 310 HP.

The strongest stock 2-stroke made was likely the Yamaha 1200R, a triple-cylinder pushing about 150 HP.

The most impressive 2-strokes in Jetskis are performance engines for standups. Current pants-creamer is the XS1400R, a 2-cylinder, 2-stroke 1400cc engine.

It makes what's shown in this video possible, and keep in mind that it showcases only the older 1200cc engine.

Good video haven't even seen one of those xscream 1400's yet but the dasa 1100 is an arm ripper.

DASA's are really ported very mildly compared to what XS does to their competition packages. The 1100 from DASA isn't all that spectacular, especially if it's on the +10 mm crank instead of the +16 mm.

I want that Yamaha 1200R engine in an R6 chassis.

Actually, just give me some sort of insane reed valved 800 or 900cc two stroke on an Aprilia 125 chassis. I want my suicide to involve 120 horsepower of raw, whining fury and 300lbs wet weight.

Also, the sparks are coming from the wrong direction, unless he's a stuntman riding in reverse at high speed.

When my dad was a young guy he saw a dude more or less gutted by a split rim blowing free. The poor fucker was standing in a pit while his buddy above was bouncing tires down to him.

I've done one 22.5" split rim. I'll never do it again. Even with the cage I kept involuntarily turning a leg inwards to protect my jewels. Unfortunately our large forklift has split rims, but with inner tubes at least.

I've never had to deal with split rims and hope I never do. Having a circle of metal fly at me at millions of miles an hour seems like a lovely way to go.

That video also yielded a genuinely funny YouTube comment.
