Your bikes look great, but are build for the straight line, and that is your world no doubt, you are happy and your wheels look good and perform to match.

But I ride the same bike in a different world, sweepers, twisties , in the mountains 500-1000 klm a day and a coffee run some mornings 150 k round trip.

Tell people where i ride, through the tight stuff and rarely go over 7000 rpm, they laugh and say your not pushing very hard, they tell me the power they got with turbos and flies out power commanders , bla, bla, bla,at 7000 rpm and upwards, and how they use it. now I'm laughing and say so you can keep your 14 through these corners above 7ooo rpm??

tell them if both engines are doing 7000rpm then your turbo is doing nothing, it only helps in your rate of acceleration but I'm wasting my time.

Having a turbo would be a waste on my bike, tight stuff or long distances is my type of riding

Plus I'm a bit old fashioned I love to see how much HP can come out of a Natural

Would love to try one one day, so I have an open mind on the subject but just no passion

Nice bikes there Romans

Thanks for the offer, was in Canmore last year, Toronto sounds like a plan.

Can't tell what the swing arm on the black one was by the photo, guessed wrong I did.

Be Careful though, Boost has a way of messing with your mind.

just like the power of a 14, took a new demo 2011 ZX10rr for a blast came back and looked at the silver bullet 2008 and thought its still a lot a bike 3 years on, won't be trading for that one any time soon.

No doubt if you fell in love with the Boost, it would be hard to go back or give it up

Wartsila, have a new diesel with a 2 stage turbo putting in 70 psi boost, one turbo force feeding another, blowers are being looked at in a different way now, as are turbos

If it wasn't for Detroit and 2 stroke diesels, blowers may of never reached there dizzy heights
