bigger motors

[The Big Red One]

i dont really have a specific hp goal but i would like to have a turbo bike. more power is great but i dont want it at the expense of reliability even though i have a 600 for daily driving now so im not putting all the miles on my busa.

Are you the kinda guy who would be fine with 240 rwhp on a busa for the long haul? Or are you the kinda guy that always wants to fiddle....always wants a little more? If you can be happy with 240 horses I'd get a $3500 stage one kit for your stock engine and enjoy If you know you'll want more and more......then you'd better save up 8-10 grand and mod/turbo the motor right the first time. Like these guys are saying.......you need to have a goal and game plan and stick to it, or a turbo can turn into a nightmare

good luck getting reliable 240+ hp NA motors.



key point to any build are 2 factors.

usage requirements and budget.

Build a motor and blow it up and in most cases you will lose atleast half your investment.

Build a forced induction setup...blow up the motor...then sell the forced induction setup and cut your loses still having a running bike after the rebuild. Write off the learning lesson that speed costs money and building and breaking things goes hand in hand.
