Triumph twin turbo?????

I had a guy from England come in my work today and we got to talkin about bikes. Well he told me that Triumph is coming out with a speed triple or something with twin turbos. Can anyone shed some light on it? He said it was from factory not custom and said to have well over 220 hp to the rear wheel. I think thats crazy but who knows with triumph. Especailly with ther 2300 Rocket 3.

highly unlikely, unless they put it in some huge *** cruiser, there's no wire you could ever utilize that much power in a sportbike without stretching it out

Re: Triumph twin turbo?????

not to mension the motor is not pushing nearly enough air to utilize a twin turbo setup. Its kind of common sense.. If they did can u imagine how small they would be?
