Buying my first bike, should a 1000 be enough?
I want to race turbo cars on the highway, should a liter be enough for now until I learn to ride it better? Will they wheelie easily? Is turbocharging one of them hard? Can I slap a leftover T25 into it? How long until I can chase single turbo Supras?

I hope your kidding. For a first bike I probably wouldn't start out with a 250 hp bike. That's just me though, but doenst seem too smart.

From what i've learned the rider is everything on a bike.. I've seen stock Kawi zx10's dip into the 9's consistently with stock wheel base and others go mid to high 10's..
I've beaten 1000's in my car but i knew they weren't good riders. Start with a liter bike and get comfy with it.. then add a bottle or turbo

Rolling starts much easier, right?

well most 1000s are near 180 I believe you saying you wanted to turbo one. That's where I was estimating the number.

you need a Kawasaki ZX-14 twin turbo charged. You should be able to slap a MK4 Supra around all day.

No a 1000cc liter sportbike will not be fast enough, the newer 1000cc sportbikes only run high 9s, low 10s, Buy a busa or zx14, stretch it and turbo it and had nos, then you'll definitely smoke single T poopras. If you have at least a little bit of dirt bike experience, you'll be fine. Good luck
