    Supercharger - less stress on the motor between roll-on and roll-off. My drag bike was surprisingly reliable with a vane supercharger, even under high boost.

    Supercharged would be so different.

    If you got the cash go for it.

    Leave it alone. It will already get from 0 to 100kmh in about 3 seconds flat. Will you really notice the extra quarter of a second a booster may provide, providing the rest of the bike can translate that power into traction? If you want more affordable excitement, paint your balls with kerosene.

    You two don't seem to get the point of doing stuff like this, quite often it is not about more needing it, more power or having a better use for your money, sometimes it's just about doing it because "YOU CAN" and having something that's a bit different than anyone else

    Supercharge the sucker I say

    It will be, as Hitcher says, only slightly faster to 100k, if not slower....
    i will only remove the limiter on closed private roads, of course.
    all other times the 62mph limiter will be in place im sure it will work juuust fine

    Go on, push the boundaries.

    If no one tried we would still be driving around with the person waving the red warning flag in front of us.

    In the early days of locomotion ie 1790's, there was a popular belief that if one went faster than 30 mph or 50kph the human body would break down.

    My 2 cents

    If it's a track or drag bike I'd love to see/hear it supercharged.
    If it's a street bike I hope you live near a bus stop.
