You guys and these damn turbo bikes! If I get the time this week, I will drive accross town and see if I can get some pics, of a turbo/nitrous Z1, a friend of mine owns. It has been like that for many years, sometimes it blows the transmission right out of it. It is a small tire bike with all the bells and whistles, it has more electronics then anyone would ever need, in a lifetime. He is a long time friend and I don't think he will have a problem, letting me shoot some photos. He is very tight lipped about the motor,(it's a mechanic thing! between us) but I will ask him about it. I would never tell him "But it is fast"

notice the busa got the holeshot,and the ol kaw was having hard time staying down since he seemed to be shifting right as it started to come up on boost every gear! and he stilled smoked him,if the the turbo wouldve missed a gear would ya give the busa credit for winning? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:i just watched it again for like 15th time,didnt see busa having any problems other than keeping up! :laugh: remember ive been around a couple fast busas! :laugh:

B)
regardless of what you might read not all busas are box stock 9 sec machines,maybe with a 125lb horse jockey pro rider on a perfect track under ideal conditions. :laugh: same thing goes for a turbo bike,all the power in the world is useless when it goes up in tire smoke or wheelies.and if you cant ride it it dont matter what youre on,if the vespa in the far lane cuts a good light and you smoke the tire 3/4 track you lose!
