Turbo Kit...?
I was looking around for a turbo kit for my bike and was curious if anyone had more information. I found this, but there is not any information on where to get it or if they are making the kit, but it exists. http://www.ststurbo.com/sts_racing Thanks...

Handeling of a 600 and power that exceeds a 1000... I can see why he would be interested.

RE: Turbo Kit...?
Fish I wasn't asking your for your opinion, I was asking for information, lock your keyboard, not my thread.
The reason I was asking is for the following... I do not like either of the current liter bike designs.. The 07 is like the previous generation 600s, which im not super fond of, and Im not all that keen on the new one either. I love my bike. I am also not that large of a person, and I feel that if I went up to the liter bike, I would compromise a large portion of my ability to properly manipulate the bike. Ive ridden R1's, 1000RR's etc... I dont like the larger frame and the additional torque that becomes particularly hazardous when trying to throttle hard through a long sweeping corner. I also feel that the balance of my 600 is excellent, Its very easy to manipulate and I can ride it aggressively without it getting away from me. If I wanted a liter bike, I would buy one...
Additionally I enjoy turbo power... It gives you a optional high end kick without killing mileage, control, or weight. My cars are turbos, always have been, and I dont see why my bike cant be. So back to the original question, does anyone actually have more information about a 600 turbo kit...?

RE: Turbo Kit...?
I would really like to advise you away from a turbo. My friend has an 07 gsxr 750 with a turbo kit. It was the worst investment he ever made. The bike does nothing but wheelie. crack the throttle in 5th and it stands right up. Also, because of the turbo lag, you can be going through a turn, and the boost will kick in, and the rear tire wants to break loose. There are a whole host of other reasons, but turbo bikes aren't worth it unless your going to the drag strip.
