Default Boosted bike - anyone ever done it?

I was just thinking what it would be like to slap a small turbo on a bike - i bet it would be hard to keep the weels on the gound, and i wonder what kind of numbers it would make. Anyone ever seen or heard of a turbo bike?

You're lucky the search isn't working or I would have flamed your *** for not doing that first. It's been covered a million times, wait for search to start working and read the eleventy bajillion threads about it.

I believe there were a few factory turbo bike in the late '70s/early '80s, some putting down as much power as a modern liter bike. I think there was actaully one posted a few days ago here.

Edit--here's the link: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1391575
