Turbo Powered Kawasaki 1400

Is this really necessary?



And does this mean that a new Concours 1400 could be turboed?

I just can't wrap my head around that for some reason. I'd probably end up wrapping it around a power pole instead, if I had that kind of power on tap.

Copies are 39 cents at the copy shop. Copies get a big red F from the teacher. Copies hang over the bed on cheap motel walls. I'll stick with building the original.

That video is just sick. Those guys riding like that will die or kill someone - it's just a matter of time.

Re: Turbo Powered Kawasaki 1400

the first ghost rider did die. The group that runs ghost rider brings in a new rider each time the main one dies. The videos are insane...

I just wonder why you would ever do it? Money and fame(though the face of ghost rider is never shown) is it really worth it?

2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200S
2000 Suzuki TL1000R
1996 Kawasaki KDX250

Re: Turbo Powered Kawasaki 1400

That much horsepower is absolutly STUPID to put in a motorcycle.......
CAN I RIDE IT??? HUH? CAN I?????

Healthy people have a thousand wishes. Sick people have just one.

My life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather I will skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out & loudly proclaiming...WOW...What a ride!

Unless you get to someplace that will handle the shuttle an air strip will be too short...
