Who in the world would want a road going turbo 1500cc Busa? I can understand it for posing on, or dragging, or if you really want to get in Streetfighters, but it's not going to make much of a commuter is it :)
Supercharger would make more sense than turbo in this application, I assume, since it's generally more usable on the road, right? |
There are a few nutters who use turbos on the road, they save the NOS for the strip....
Way back in the 80's there was a turbo bike from each of the japanese manufacturers, Yamaha put a turbo and a square fairing on their XJ650, I rode one was kinda fun but gutless low down. http://www.xj650.de/galerie/xj650_turbo/xj650_turbo.htm Honda had a CX500 turbo, maybe even CX650 turbo in the free world. Ugly as sin the lot of 'em. http://www.honda.ca/MotorcycleEng/Cl...1981+CX500.htm The Suzuki XN85 was no better ... http://www.motorbikes.be/en/Suzuki/1...%2085%20Turbo/ Best of that bad bunch was the Kawasaki GPZ 750 Turbo http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bike%20...rbo%201984.htm |
Turbos for a sensible engine I can understand, but turbos for an already oversized Busa engine on the road just seems a bit daft. Though I know people do build street legal drag bikes of course.
