Too much power is just about enough.

Some may remember my thread about the turbo Gixxer.
Well now it's got a new management system and more boost.
249hp and 120 ft lbs of torque!
That's as much power as a MotoGP bike and more torque. And it's only around 30kg's heavier.
It's got a catch tank off a stock truck to catch the adrenaline.

I've ridden it when it "only" had 225hp at the tread. It'd wheelie/smoke the rear off the throttle in 4th with 220kph showing on the slow reading throttle. It is the most exciting bike ever and if I win Lotto, I'll be employing the owner to build one for me.

I thought you'd gone off to sportscocks.co.nz where bike talk is the only subject?
