Right i have got a gsxr1000 k6 and i happened to see ethis on the US ebay site,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...link:middle:us

it really got me thinking about getting one! I dont need to worry about the tax coming into the country as one of the guys i work with on the rig will just bring it to me. But surely this isnt as easy as a "plug and play".....
I would have thought that you would need to build it all set it up with a power comander etc and a good few hours on a dyno?

What do you think~?

swerv

i take it you have the bike already?

are you mad is the 2nd question?lol

motogp bikes are 230hp

I think you want to be involved in a very very big accident ... Looks like a nice bit of kit, how much is the holeshot racing conversion?

actually pic the bike up when i get back next week, yeah slightly mad when i get on the thing! Dunno, turn into a nutter when i'm on it, thats why i am going to start racing! People seem to think i will do quite well.....

Stavros

Plug n play using fairly crude but effective fuel sys mods to get 200bhp+, but the kit is good for 350+ if you wanna do more mods.

Do it, lol. Something tells me you wont get bored of that perfoemance for a while. You may die tho, lol

i had a turboed r1 mate only rode it 3 times they aint a good thing and take away all the rideability of the bike just get it tuned my k4 1000 had dif injectors power comander and k=n filter was rely fast but rideable

you think it'll fk the rideability???? Hmmmm, spose it might be a daft idea but it must be the wee boy (or devil) in me but something is screaming buy it, buy it!!!!

Jacko, i will give ye a phone next week to arrange coming down, got to sort out the brakes on the M3 first (binding)

mrjenrst

make the bike virtualy unrideable. Great for top speed shit for anything else.

You'd spend all day either highsiding or lowsiding it.

Turbo's really dont go well on bike's unless it's a full on made to be monster.
Ie extended swingarm fatter tyre's

Supercharging is a better way as you have progressive throttle.

jacko

my r1 was 337 bhp and compleatley shit standard swing arm didnt help

F**KS sake jacko, 337.........

S1rst

Not a good idea at all in my opinion. As said, it would make it unrideable. A K6 thou has more than enough power for the road, with many people saying thou's have too much as it is. The front end would be up all the time and i reckon you could actually ride a standard one 'quicker'.

Having said that, it would be 'fun' yes, but if you want to ride quick then i wouldnt bother mate. Leave it as it is or maybe add a PC3, filter and full system if you want that little bit extra.

jacko

sold the gixer bought a zx10r then sold that for the r1 wish id kept the gixer

S1rst

Sounds impressive, but using this as an example, i bet you could get round a track quicker on a standard or mildly tuned R1 due to the turbo'd one being way too agressive?

Can you imagine in 4th plus when you might get traction on the rear wheel with the front up. Dont Think About It.....just Fucking Do It!!!!!!!!

jacko

try riding a bike that floates the front wheel at 160 in 3rd

focuschivvy

you must have the biggest bollocks ever


my old mans bikes been to holshot, 200bhp r1, and he says its more than enough!

he did want to turbo it at one point, but the rideability around a track would be so poor

im surprised no one has tried a centrifugal supercharger on a bike yet, nice linear power delivery, big trouble with turbo bikes is the huge torque spike over a small rev range..

Stavros

Loads of people have

jacko

the fastest iv ever been was just over 205 on a zx12r in the rain dont want to do it again ether lol

but if you want a mentaly fast rideable bike you just get it tuned no turbo no nitrous no charger they dont have the stability for it

Never seen any features on them Stav, and I read loads of bike mags

Stavros

normally superbike and PB, but not religeously, just when there is somthing interesting in... Looks like a nice kit/ powergain, no point in having 30000000BHP if it's tearing the back tyre to shreds or wheelieing constantly.

Turbo bike are great. I've owned/built a few.

Currently doing all the fab work for a mates bandit 12 turbo. Will be 250 bhp when finished on current spec.

They are not the best way to tune a bike for track use but for road riding the extra torque makes them great.

And of course it is good to know that absolutly nothing on the road will keep with you in a straight line.

I used to ride one of my turbo bikes to work and back all the time in the summer. Certainly blew the cobwebs away in the morning!
