Nope. Am I willing to give up my everyday driver? Nope. I just can't. Just thinkin out loud and sharing my thoughts. Absolutely beautiful garage Romes! Nothing in the world I like more than a horsepower labratory!
I think this is a common misconception. Boosted bikes have been my daily drivers for a very long time now. Where you go I go. They run cooler and better on fuel on long trips if you stay out of it. Remember, these are street kits Only, Same compression as stock. Same bottom End power roll up, BUT if your roll the wrist forward and load the Turbo spool up on these little Turbos is instant. Boost comes in at 3500 RPM if you hammer it. Lag = ZERO. Lets face it you most probally leave your drive way at more than 3500RPM. Drive normal it is normal. No Drama.
Are they as convenient as stock ??? Answer No, Not even close. If you want set it and forget this is most definately Not it. You may get two years trouble free or two minutes. Common sense plays a big role. Ten minute lesson and your ready. Ignore your lesson well, she will bite your Wallet Hard. Kits have come a long way but the theory remains the same. No biggy. Boost greed blows them up and most can't help it.
Thanks for the comments on the garage. Took me seven Months to build it but worth every second. After walking backwards and falling over bike headers for the third time I snapped and had a bit of mental break down. Just no room to play motorcycle. Had to be done or find a new hobby.
Well, it's a good thing I'm upping the boost to 8lbs.... I don't know if I could live with myself if you could pwn me Fazer... lol The race is on!
Beast your current set up he's got ya, Drive away got ya , that's if he can ride it ???
Once your swing arm is installed, boost upped, equals no contest you will be the clear winner. That swing arm very important.
As for Fazer I will say this, Fazer you went from a 88 hp(just a guess lol)Turd to a ZX14, and Now to boosted ZX14 in a very very short period of time.
With your current 17/45 gearing, almost bald no sticky back tire 8lbs of boost You can count on the fact she will hall the mail in one Fuck of a Hurry. Your A Mad Man. No swing arm and tooooo much boost equals ???? Lots of fun or ????? I will need you to sign a waver before you leave here ROFL. Seriously carefull carefull. But I get it.
IMO it's better to start off with more and learn to ride it than keep spending your way up. Been there done that got the T-Shirt. Two months in you will want more, human nature.
My new and improved 14 is going to rock. Now ill be trying to keep the wheel down!
Yep, that's a given. Please order new tire ASAP. spinning wheelies = wow
Let the horsepower wars begin!
