Re: turbo bikes?
Hahahaha Ed1000 was down here and we went out and got some grub with some local ink squirters. One was a kid with a sick brand new gixxer1k roland sands everything on it, turbo and nitrous, 300 rear wheel...super clean. We ate dinner, he got on his bike and 30 seconds later he wrecked into a house! It was the 3rd time the kid had ridden it after the turbo. Probably the first time he had gotten on it. They said there was a 1400 foot burnout mark until the road ended up at a dead end with a house. Kid shattered his pelvis, broke his collarbones, and shoulder. He's fine now. He was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and a helmet. No gloves. 25 grand in the bike. Gone with only liability on the insurance.
damn ink squirters... i bet he wuz havvin a blast till he hits a house n destroys himself and his bike haha

Re: turbo bikes?
that **** would blow after about 40 minutes of riding but I think with a small enough turbo and only like 3 psi for the boost I think it would be fun as hell with like a 60tooth haha

Re: turbo bikes?
350-400hp is just about perfect on the street in a car. a turbo on a bike would be like a 1000hp in a car. its just way to much on the street. if you can afford it and the hospital bills then to each his own.

Re: turbo bikes?
I had a 03 750 turbo and it was one of the funnest bikes I have ever rode. The power band is just totally different then a regular bike. I have a used turbo kit that will fit a 01-02 1000 and maybe a 03-04. with some slight mods if you are interested

Re: turbo bikes?
my old pontiac lemans was pushing around 350hp but it was also a boat on wheels and old technology. i like having expendable power to get up and go when i want to and 200hp just wont cut it. i also think a liter bike is almost to much on the street. i love overtaking my buddies on thier liter cuz they fear the power. i guess realisticly, its about the users skill level that would determine what to much power is. if you fear the unpredictability, its to much. you said it best...."if you want it, and you can handle it."
, sounds like a jet
