I like to bike, but am just an amateur. My ftp is ~280W, which is what I can sustain for a long time without accruing too much lactic acid. I've held 200+W for hours. Just to give a baseline. A heavier person could probably do even more.

A track cyclist can reach 2000+W bursts, but they are freaks.
