A couple of years ago, when I had already decided to add the turbo to my bike, I found this video from Youtube. After watching it several times I sat for 15 minutes on my bed just thinking "What the f*ck am I doing?... :shocked:" The behaviour of the bike in the video is very familiar: under 6000 rpm and 0,6 bar it acts just like a normal 14 and after that it totally flips  :devil:  Just watch and enjoy!

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

The speedo is off the clock - how the heck can he hold onto it at that speed, it would be pulling my arms out their sockets!
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Would be interesting to know what gearing he's using,
And how much is true speed or just wheelspin ?

Either way, it's a monster!  but the clocks don't tell the whole story.
I'm not 100% convinced he's doing "off the clock" speeds.

Not sure why the power comes in so sudden and hard (with the boost)
The turbo bikes I've ridden were a lot more controllable and predictable.
Having 2 stroke characteristics makes for good viewing but its not that clever.
