i think it would be pointless too
even on a blade etc, my blade is fast enough as is, when i top end it i spose it could get there quicker but not much! (today i went past a zx10 he was doin about 130 and i came past him at a dialed 170
)
and mine is limited by its sprokets, if i wanted 190 i could get it
turbo a goldwing? nah, im sure it would be a laff for all of 20 mins and a trike version moreso but you'd still struggle to go round a corner as you do on em as std

My mates got a blade, when i swap the gearbox in the civic, i'll do a video of me passing him in the car
Bikes IMO are slow to accelerate after 100, very slow after 140. Of cause there very quick to accelerate below 100 and responsive etc, most bikers ride on country lanes where there better suited, but get 1 on a dual carriageway or motorway and there not all that great so you can see why people turbo them. If your surrounded by carriageways and not country lanes it would make more sense.
