Thats what I was saying. Why turbo a f4i when you could just get a liter bike or a busa if you wanted straight line speed.

 

Wouldn't it be too easy to wipe out when your in a corner and tha muddaphuckin boost kicks in?

**** dat!

Its all about smooth consistant power.

 

i wonder what the torque is like...i asked.

 

i think if you have the money, a turbo 600cc bike would be a lot of fun to own, not only the unique-ness of it, but the power it creates... i've driven a few turbo cars, a turbo jetski, and hopefully one day a turbo bike... i just love the concept...

 

plus look at the weight diff between a Busa as mentioned above and a turbo 600. The concept is very nice. But ide be scared to have a turbo bike. Scary enuff as they are

I think he said that because uhhhh they didn't make an F4i in 2000. F4 Carb'd for 2000.

 

to be unique, i think id rather weld a frame around a B18C1 and make a Boss Hoss style bike.

bike got vtec yo!

then you could turbo it.

i asked for torque numbers or a dyno chart, but all i got was this.

Good morning,

I made the dyno runs at the time I built the power commander map which was 1 1/2 years ago. I used my buddies dyno @ Mr Turbo and I'm not sure that I can retrieve the dyno graph but I will try this weekend as I'm out of town on business.

I have built several turbo bikes -- 1 KZ1000, 1 KZ1300, 2 900rr's, 1 929rr, 1 F4 and this F4i. The F4i is the most comfortable and exciting to ride. It does not make the most power or have the most torque. I have set this one up to make boost around 6500 rpm so all the power can be used while no compromising the streetability.

God bless

right, but thats the 2-valve vs 4 valve which i think is because it adds complexity and cost and i havent seen any benefit to the buyer.
i dont think it was marketed properly (whats the benefit aside from the VTEC logo) and from an engineering perspective i dont see any benefit either.

on paper it sounds like a good idea but i dont see it in the actual bike.

the reason for the vtec on the VFR is almost 100% due to noise restrictions in japan and europe. when they test, they do passes in 2nd gear up to 7000 rpm. the vtec opens the second set of valves at 7200 rpm, so the bike tests quiet. there have been some people that have tried to bypass the vtec, but the bike is not tuned for 4 valves in the lower rpm, and there is an issue of bypassing the oil pressure switch. no one is sure that there is enough oil pressure at low rpms to run all 4 valves safely

 

salvage title too

you know, it might be the makings of a scam...pics dont actually show a turbo, but something like an intercooler where the radiator should be?

I have ridden a factory turbo Yamaha Seca 650.

It's definitely a cool bike to ride, no power off boost and goes like hell on boost. Sick midrange power for a 650. It's still tame enough for a beginner to learn on as it's very stable in the corners and because of the broad torque curve you don't have to shift all that often. On the highway in 5th if you want to go just twist and whooooosh, off you go, no downshifting required.

 

I live in albany, and i've seen the bike, the guy hangs out with the Dunkin Donuts crew there... Donte, Debbie, Jamie, all them, i rode with them all this season, the turbo 1000 has a mural of a chick with her ***** hangin out on the tank.. the paint is a little over the top for me, but it sounds crazy, and is out of control fast... the guy says that it picks the front end up with no effort at like... 100 in 5th gear... crazy, hes trying to sell it right?
