over 240hp?
ZOWZA!!!!!!!!
and down to 530ish pounds

Yes, depending on pump gas or race gas. A little under on pump gas, a little over on race gas. It's a 1st gen, so it started out around 550 lbs wet. The exhaust system on the 2nd gen ('08 and newer) 'Busa's added about 30 extra lbs.
It's a fun street and occasional roadracing track bike, but really it's tame compared to some of the LSR TurboBusa's I've worked on over the years. They have all been capable of over 600 rwhp. Of course they had big turbo's and noticeable lag. Great for Landspeed Racing, but an annoyance for track or spirited deserted road riding.
Anyway, my only point in mentioning the bike, is to give some idea of the conditions the chain and sprockets are subjected to.
