Suzuki 600 Turbo -Yes please

I'll put my name down for one also.

It looks sweet and I am sure they have sorted how to soften out the power delivery of Turbo's on bikes these days.

My Uncle had an 80's Honda CX500 v-twin Turbo roadbike in immaculate condition. He said it had the power of a 1000cc machine when on the boost.

When I save my pennies, i'll get a 600cc Turbo!

And its ugly enough to be a Kawa in disguise

Ugly as a bag full. Sorry.  Just my 2 bobs worth.

Chemical Turbo Charging......no one will notice, especially with new stealth bottle configuration disguised as a rear fender extender

what a retard!!!!

I like the  gen1, I don`t have an issue with happy gas.

I can`t see a stone guard or protector of any sort!!

I don`t have a prob with turbo bikes,

that will be my next project, gen 1 turbo.

there`s a few tried and tested bolt on kits for the 1200, from dead stock to 210 RWHP, and very usable.

Turbo's failed the first time around because though they had the power of a 1000 'on-boost', they also had the weight of the 1000's plus additional complexity, cost and lag.

So the question was why not buy a 1000?  Most buyers answered by buying a 1000, and the turbo's (all the Japs had one) became a footnote in the history of motocycling.
Let's see how they go this time around.

Never know, it could be time to resurrect the rotary in motorcycling

Or go the way of all those little SUV's - turbo the diesel  

Why not a 1000cc????

Cause every tom , dick and harry seems to have one.

If you like your bike to stand out a little then go for it and get a turbo,
until the time when turbo's are a dime a dozen of course!!!!

Horses for courses I suppose.

I am actually awaiting the arrival of some cool electric bikes to arrive.

What about the Hover bikes, they are lagging behind aren't they and should have been developed by now, it's the 21st Centrury for goodness sake!

bring it on I say, I`ve said it on this site somewhere before, I still want a Norton nrv588.

or to keep in theme with Suzuki an RE5

Surprised it's only got a single disk at the front to slow it down, or is that why you need good jandals?

I agree, I recently viewed a documentary called, I believe, "Back to the Future 3", the Hoverboard should be just around the corner

I saw an great introduction to time travel, Bill and Ted really know their stuff.
