I think if turbos were really the shyt n didnt affect handling in the twisties there would be turbo'd bikes in the AMA MotoGP ranks. Theres not so there must be a reason 
And only turbo'd bikes i've see in the mtns are ones I have to pass b4 I go insane from almost stopping in the turns. And for me to be able to pass ya YOU ARE MAJORLY SLOW!!! lmao
Now on flat straight road, yea no doubt they can crank out the ponies. I prefer my NS enigines tho

My turbo isn't very heavy, in fact by the time I remove the stock exhaust system I might have added 10-15lbs and it is all down low in the front. Apparently you haven't ridden a turbo bike and are just guessing as to what it should do. why do you want it streched? That will kill your handling more than the weight.

Not 100%, but I don't think turbos are allowed in Moto GP. I couldn't download the rule book.
What turbo bikes are in the mountains, stretched ones? What mountains?

I visit Deals Gap several times a year and I've not once seen a turbo bike there. And theres good reason, a 1k in these mtns is overkill on power, so a turbo's bike is uber overkill. I'm not saying it cant be done, but it would take a wel trained rider to pull off n them not kill themselves
U turbo ppl make up about 1% of the 1%er's lol

Turbo kits are heavy... they kill your handling.

!!! ... I think without needing rocket scientry to be used to work it out , we can safely assume that through twistie stuff anywhere , a better rider on any good 600 or 1000 for that matter will kill anyone not as good on any Turbo ... but then that is stating the bloody obvious when it comes to NA bikes as well , so this argument is a touch weak.... 
Unless you have personalty experience the insanely ballistic near endless acceleration of a full house Turbo , I spose I am.....
I think I can safely assume that the need for 180hp in this case is for reasons other that JUST doing deals gap type of roads...
Lets face it , the whole argument for a real need of this level of power is a bit off the air really ..
but to answer the post topic ........

If quick is what you are after , way more power that you and most riders will never prolly use to its full potential and you want to get 180hp out of your bike with little or next to no effort ...TURBO !!! ...then hang on very very tight , expect at the least arm strain and shoulder troubles , expect the look of total amazement from just about every other big bike on the freeway as you leave them behind like they are standing still , .....
and good luck ...LOL
morning all .... :-)
