New bikes with that kind of power are $10-11k new and are too nice for my taste. Give me $10k and I'll buy used 929, custom pistons to lower the compression, and turbo it to 1 bar with cash left over. That will net 250rwhp or more depending on the octane of the gas and how aggressively we time the ignition. We can also hook a boost controller up to limit power defendant on gear and rpm to keep things in control.

 

I like the way you think!

 

250hp on stock rods?? I don't know if that is something I would trust? There is some more money?

 

People that can do work on there own bike are obviously going to be able to do it cheaper, but you still need other parts that cost? Depends on how much you pick the project bike up for also?

 

Not to mention, the newer bikes handle better and stop better. Usually lighter?
