you know how with that pissy little 2.3l motor they are OK, but a bit gutless? More horsepower and torques are obviously required.

This man feels your pain, and has fixed your problem.

Yup, a NOS injected Rocket 3.

I would queue up for a ride on that, I really would.... $33k seems cheap for the performance on offer.

Why bother with Nos when you can turbo it and not have to fill the bottles.

Something like this should do;

only 335hp and 395flbs @ the rear wheel..
and a fuckin amazing torque graph, gains 100flbs in about 400revs
2600-3000rpm...

that is one hell ride.....

Ah the madness.

A Google finds a few turboed ones in the world.

Plus a few 'others'.....

Amazingly this bike looks really good.

Unfortunately for the seller it won't sell on Trademe.

This guy came on the Thursday night ride once. Got a good close up look at the bike. The NOS install is superb, looks absolutely factory. Very tidy, nicely chromed.
He had been muttering about getting a supercharger kit as well!

Yep, agreed...hubby and I spoke to him at the Speights Ale House on one of the ATNR rides.

She is a good looking beast alright, and I clearly remember thiking the guy must be either a genius or mentally unstable :laugh: But man, what a thrill that bike must be!
