    Mmm. Turbo. mmm. GSXR. mmmm.

    There are some outstanding contributions to society in the name of complete overkill.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Holy mother of God.

    What sort of top speeds could you expect to hit on one of those??

    Passing cars would never be a problem ever again.... insurance may be a bit tricky though....

    Yes indeedy... the only bike to do backflips when you simply let the clutch out in first gear....

    It'd sure teach you a lot as a learners bike... such as how many spare pairs of undies you could keep under the seat...

    Probably cheaper and less hassle to just get a nappy.

    The one I rode that Blair built and Nicko now owns (I think he still does) followed the original stock GSXR power curve perfectly on the dyno. Except it carried 70hp more everywhere.

    Absolutely frickn stupid I tell ya.

    insurance would be the least of your worries if you bailed at 300km/h
