Pretty crazy intake mod. Sounds like they're French or something.

Was the radiator replaced with the intake? Or placed in front of it?

If i could afford it lol. The cheapest Garrett Turbo for a bike is like 1300+ euro or what ever. i didnt see if there was an american site or not but still. it would be more expensive. would be so bad ass tho. so bad ass.

It's cool, but I think a turbocharged 600 is pretty pointless. For probably less money and effort, you could put a 1000 in and have a better powerband and probably the same, if not more power and much better reliability.

+1... I was wondering if that was even a 600 at first. Thought maybe it could be a 250 or 400, or some other freaky European size.

OTOH, a twin-turbo'd 'Busa makes all the sense in the world. ;)

Yeah but if you DID get one you could be like, "I got a turbocharged hornet". thats probably why the guy did that lol.

That's pretty damn sweet! I wouldn't mind keeping my g/f's Ninja 250 and put a turbo on it when she decides to upgrade.

Like the Yellow with the Blue. Wheels are outragious.
