Re: IT

Nobody who buys a Boost King is primarily concerned with smooth tractability and rideability. They most likely want a bike that goes through rear tires and shoulder sockets like candy. So give them the turbo. Most V-Max owners I've heard from _love_ the sudden V-Boost surge.

The Boost King is a girl's bike. No real man would ride something slow like that. REAL MEN would take two turbocharged Hayabusa engines and turn that bike into a 2600cc V-8. Then it might be fast enough. Barely.

Re: turbo is not like 2 stroke

> turbos are NOT an ideal solution on a motorcycle in tight corners.

Yeah, well neither is V-boost, and the V-Max seems to be doing just fine. Musclebikes appeal to a very different group than SV650s or CBR600s.

Re: Motorcycle Land Speed Record kind of talk

I believe that horsepower equals torque x engine rpm, not torque x velocity. So your equation is incorrect, because you use the term "speed" to refer to both engine rpm and velocity.

I've heard that the new BMW power brakes are as sensitive and easy to modulate as an arrestor hook--will that do?
