Must be a Tradie, has tool box on one side.
Seen that for sale on Autotrader for the princely sum of 10k
I have seen many turbo'd ones but not with the plenum bolted to the side
think this is a more drag strip bike
Mind you be quick at 135rwhp
Sorry 235 rwhp :facepalm:
Not mothers finest by any means, agree probably a drag strip bike. At least with the hair dryer that close to the front tyre you can melt both the front and rear at the same time.
Seat is garish, like the clear clutch cover though.
That's only fit for dragstrips & has to be quick so no one sees you on such a monstrosity.

Oh fighting words! it's still done more miles than your 14 this year :stir:
Not my cup of tea, but each to their own & I'm sure that someone will pay the price :confused1:
@Notty &
@Hooli behave :facepalm:
Is there any video with sound of this bike?
I have said previously why would you turbo any bike. However I'm fascinated by the amount of time and effort that goes in to making a great looking bike into butt ugly. :stir: :stir:
I've seen plenty of pics of turbo installs neater than that one.

Me too, just wish they were affordable.

Perhaps but it's clever the way they've tied it into the frame with the diagonal black and into the tank with the blue and white.
Looks like a monster, but isn't. That tiny Garret can't produce anything but heat & exhaust pressure.
That 235hp must be maximum to that setup.
Would say more show than go but it's so fugly...
The swing arm brace doesn't look quite up to the job either! :confused1:
IMHO swing arm braces on 1400s are purely aesthetic rather than necessary.
I seem to recall years ago someone with a blown 14 finding the chain claimed off the sprocket when launching down the strip untill they braved the swingarm. I don't recall details but I'm sure it needed serious power to become an issue.
Plus braced swingarms are damned ugly.

Ugly is an understatement.
They are full on Amy Schumer.
