I don't think there has been any stock turbo bike since the mid-80's. Honda 500 IIRC.

1982 Yamaha seca 650 turbo

None of the 600's currently out come with a turbo.

There is no reason to turbo a 600 unless you want to drag it at a drag track.

They are plenty fast and you don't want to deal with turbo lag on a bike, since it's introduction will cause instability if turning.

Squash my previous statement... I guess it was a 750 Kawi...

You want a turbo because you like the sound? knock a hole in your helmet so it makes a whistling sound. Alot more affect than a turbo on a bike IMO. No real applicable use except for show or drag racing.

I agree... You can get a 3/16" drill bit MUCH cheaper than a turbo setup.

AH yea n death. Hell might as well add NOS to the mix too. Nothing like a NO2 explosion :slol:

And don't forget Kawasaki's GPZ750 Turbo, or Suzuki's XN85 Turbo.

Turbo GSXR 600, watch the tach (http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvideos/11/f77f999c-4008-4e53-aa58-8917ee9ffc75.htm):yikes:

As cool as it is, I don't get why anyone would do it other than to be different. Even if it's super efficient you're only going to make around literbike territory except now with lag and a transmission/clutch that will need to be replaced ASAP as they're not designed for the power.
Just buy a literbike, then I can understand wanting more power but I would go with supercharging instead of turbo. Remember; drifting is fun in a car, not so fun on a bike.
S/C gives linear, off idle power that lasts all the way to redline, not massive violent hits of power somewhere around 3/4 rev range like turbos. Also a lot less wearing on the drivetrain, cooling system, everything basically.

Cali superbikes specializes in s/c and turboing bikes. (http://www.calisuperbikes.com/) I've read several glowing reviews of bikes they've boosted.

I use to lurk on superkaos messageboards which is a site all about turbo bikes, there's land speed record holders, insane people and the owner who made that famous video of the silver turbo busa that's everywhere online now. That's how I know a little about all this pointless crap. :readng:

Was it my imagination or did the rider seem skeered sh*tless? lmao

And not to mention :wtf: with the bouncing sh*t?? :lol:

okay i get what your guys are saying turbo=death......but i really want some cool sound coming out of a bike so what bike makes the best/cool noise when reving and riding

get an aftermarket exhaust?? usually plenty of options for most bikes, even the ninja250 has one or two.

Italian V-twin.

btw- How old are you if you don't mind my asking?

20...im about 5"8 tall and i currently on a ninja 250 im deciding what bike should i get that fits my height my ninjas seat is perfect for me but i have some height left

i'm about the same height, you should be okay on most sportbikes, but best idea is to just go to the dealer, sit on a bunch, and see which one feels the best.

a local dealer told me that theres a thing that makes the seat lower...i was lookin at a gsrx 600 when the sales man told me that its possible

Another question- what gear do you ride in?

"Thas' only in da mo'nin... you 'spose to be up makin' breffixt er sumthin'..."

you want the WOOO WOOOOOOO!!!

about any v-twin with an aftermarket exhaust will give you a sweet rumble... drown out the whine of them damn ricers that thing they are fast. :cheers:

Just what is classified as a ricer? I thought it was anything Asian made lol

guess i was refering to cars... anything that was in any of the fast and the furious movies (excluding the hemi challenger and the yenko, and the charger) or is driven by a kid that wants to be the next vin diesel. :2cents:

Yea the Yenko n the charger rewled. I dont mind a real F&F car, its the wannabes with nuttin but a pipe n bodywork. I mean if ya gonna do it do it right, go all out.

we just got done with a turbo setup on a 2007 gsxr 600. On 8psi of boost it put down 160's at the rear wheel. it makes it nice to afford insurance on a 600 and still be able to smoke the liter bikes. the kit runs 3500.00 installed. as far as the turbo being death, i would have to say its not the power that kills, its the dumbass that is turning the throttle and dont know their limits. its not something for the beginner.

Turbo's are cool for drag bikes or just cruising around. I understand there is throttle control/powerband issues in the throttle, so it's prolly not a good idea for twisties. But if you are not into twisties and have a buttload of money then that would make a killer sleeper! Make sure you wear all your gear tho, be safe, and be cautious of other peeps! Show some pics tho if you get it done.

LOL at entire thread

This is amusing. Also, the Saleen and Viper in the beginning of 2F2F were not ricers by any means. Civics with coffee cans for mufflers, loud sound systems, and bodykits are ricers.

Basically cheap cars that are made to look and sound fast but are actually slow as fock.

:iagree: (D) all the above!

"Shopping Carts" Just point one out to anyone (doesn't matter if they know jack about cars) and they'll get it!

Its just for decoration!

Very squidly thread

Another question- what gear do you ride in?

any gear aslong as im on 6-7K rpm

any gear aslong as im on 6-7K rpm

:withstupi We all gotta start somewhere. But usually it isn't on a turbo600!:nonod:

take is easy guys im a begginer i just have a jacket i think its a tour master i got it for free......i only commute from school and work.....my school is about 5 miles away and my job is about 7-10 miles away so sometimes i dont wear any gears.....i know is kinda stupid riding without gears

My school is winthin 10 mile of my house but I wear my jacket n gloves at the leat no matter if its just 1 mile up the road. Most accicents are within 5 miles of home, according to statistics. No one is jumping you, its your body and you ride. I use to wear nuttin but a helmet and even not that sometymes last bike I had years ago. Needless to say I went down. Lucky it was a cold night so I at least had my denim jacket on n my helmet. Jacket still has a bent buttun helmet has the scratches, and I still have the pains n scars to remind me of it. Bike was totaled :cry: Length of the ride dont make it any safer on the road. But just be safe n enjoy your ride.





I really need to find something to do :lol:

Even on my 30 minute lunch break today, I changed from gym shorts and tennis shoes into jeans and boots, put on my jacket and helmet just to go a half mile up the road to grab some food. Moral is that it doesn't matter how short the ride is, you should always wear gear and be smart about your riding.

no matter if its a football field away, or 100 miles, your gear is what could save you, or let you die, depending on whether it is on you or not. mine goes on NO MATTER WHAT. hotter than hell? perforated leather jacket and lots of water. cold as ice? liner goes in, heavier clothing goes on, I dont really care. I'd rather be sweaty and hot, or cold and pissed than bloody and broken.

Well the broken we can only do so much about :lol: the rash we can prevent 99% of tho :dthumb:

Hang out at the hospital some time you see alot more smahed and pulverized bones and ripped flesh than anything else I have only seen a few cases of bad road rash. I saw a guys junk turned completly inside out last weekend.....:nonod: None of it stops me from riding especially since I see more horrible injuries from car accidents and shootings than I do motorcycles, but there is definitly a dark side to riding that is suicidal to ingnor....imo

Yeah the seat height on my R6 took a little getting used to, I'm 5'8".

But hey, it was too :drool: for me to get anything else, and I manage it fine now.

I dont.

Well my friends its all so true, theres two types of bikers, those whose been down, and those that are gonna down! Fact of physics, Darwin, and averages. Its all a matter of time before we all go down at least once, be it our fault or some stOOPid cagers. Only fools think it wont happen to them.

:cheers: :dthumb:oh I knew I was gonna go down eventually, I just wondered how bad it would be.

I rode for about 7 1/2 years before my first incident this spring. Made a newb mistake, hit cross walk tape on cold tires doin about 15mph in a turn and ended up low siding.

All in all total damage to the bike was about $250. I highly recommend you get good quality frame sliders, mine shattered in the crash and did nothing for my fairings. I got everything replaced really cheap though.

okay i get what your guys are saying turbo=death......but i really want some cool sound coming out of a bike so what bike makes the best/cool noise when reving and riding


im not sure what it is.. but i got a 07 gsxr 600, and it whistles some times when i speed up or slow down.. like a turbo.. it sounds awsome 0_o

it's always done it sense day 1 :\

doing 70mph hitting the ground.. mine didn't shatter im glad too! i need a new puck now.. it bent the bolt pretty far 0_o lol

If you're looking for better sound, modify your air intake/filter/airbox. Mine came with carbon fiber ram air tracts which are 40% larger than stock and they are LOUD.
The sound from the airbox is louder than the exhaust when sitting in the saddle. I love em. :dthumb:
I read that a lot of what gives V-Twins their distinct sound is the intake howl. Kawasaki's have the best intake sound that I've heard, sound like jet fighters sucking in air.
