Ok Sorry about this and before i get flamed "I am a rider and love the whole power thing", this however is just stupid and looking for a rider to kill. Comon turbo charging a bike, Give me a break.

If this where being done just to see if it could be done it would be cool for show, but this thing is not only for sale but they have a kit that you can buy separately to do this at home. Hello is there any one home! I wonder if it will allow the 16 year old at the end of my street to endo stop his bike any quicker?

Doh! Was that the seat hitting you in the back of the head just before snapping your neck.

Sorry about the rant/

Back to my unfortunate reality.

Cool looking bike, I’m sure J Lenno would love one "That is if he doesn't already have one sitting next to his jet powered monster bike".

Later TaboII

Yeah...300HP....LOL! A top level GP bike for racing these days makes around 200-220HP. Add another 80HP for the base model kit...then another 100HP+ for the upgrade....the tires are going to roast or you're going to flip over backwards. Serious waste of money. Would be cool to see on a dyno though.

I saw the TurboBusa video, the speedo was climbing faster at 150 than my 944 tach on a free rev! Crazy! I would die tho, I'm a little to wild for only 2 wheels.

My friend knows a few guys who have turbos on their (already ridiculously fast in stock form) bikes. They haven't died yet and are apparently quite fond of that madness... I can imagine it's nice to know you're the fastest thing on the road bar none, as long as you can keep it under control

Tell that to the guys running 7's and 8's in the 1/4 mile at well over 160mph (I've seen some as high as 180mph, maybe 185) without a wheeliebar...

I don't know if that is the exact turbo kit, but I've seen these turbos at work, and it's no joke. Expect to hurt yourself.
