Default Is it possible?

This isn't going to help anyone, its just a thought I've had for a while...well here it goes...is it possible to have a turbo bike? Like a turbo R1 or something or a turbo cbr 600.

Sure... plenty of people turbocharge the Hayabusa and speed past 200mph.

Here's one place that turbocharges bikes:

the bad thing about boosting a super sport, is they usually have a short wheel base. meaning you will wheelie to easy. The hayabusa is more ideal, even then you would probably want to extend the swing arm some....which kills handling.

One thing I'll point out is, up until you get into the big boys (Blackbird, Hayabusa, ZX-12), it's generally easier to buy a better bike instead of turboing one. a.) it's expensive and b.) you'll overpower the rest of the chasis and the brakes & suspension won't be able to handle the additional power without dumping in loads of cash.

On top of that, an R1 isn't fast enough?
