In the January 2000 issue of Motorcyclist, there's an article on a turbocharged Triumph Sprint ST. The info for the turbo company is:

Turbo Connection
2019 Eclipse Ave.
Rapid City, SD 57703
605-393-0816
email: Turbo595@aol.com

Not sure if this info is still relevant/accurate, since the issue is almost two years old. I have M/C mags dating back til around '98, so if you REALLY REALLY want, I can look through all of 'em and see if I can find any more turbo'd bikes. Or send you the Jan.2000 copy.

I would think that there's not a big market for turbos in motorcycles. I mean, honestly, it's a motorcycle. If that's not fast, then your $$ would be better spent learning your limits (and your bike's) on a track, where it's safer. Not to knock you down for wanting a turbo...I guess having a sleeper bike is tantalizing...but it's not what I'd want. Just my opinion.

Hope the info helps!

Hopefully not on any roads near me...

My vote would be for indoor plumbing.

worth a try cost to much though would rather try it on interstate at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning

a friend said to me: I did not think you were crazy till you passed two cars and barely missed another coming the other way on a 2 lane 45 mph road at 140 mph with a passenger

I said: TOLD YOU I WAS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!
