If its the one I'm thinking of, it was monthly write up on building one from scratch. Was an over-bored (1200??) turbo charged streetfighter style GSXR1100. Built by some mad bastard (Steve Burns I think). Looked pretty mint too. God knows what is was like hanging onto an unfaired Turbo'd & bored out GSXR1100 at full tit.

Thanks for that, cant see any references to a "Turbo Special" but presumably thats a model they did some time ago.

my understanding was that he took a relatively standard Gixxer motor, plopped it in a Harris frame, and bolted on a bloody big turbo. custom pipes that went over the engine and fuel in a belly tank under it (it didnt work for shit on Spencer's NSR500.......). lots o' special bits and there you go. It looked quite cool in the mag... theres some pix and I think they promised a "readers specials" feature on it.

For my money the Moriwaki and Freddie Spencer replicas were far cooler.....
