I suggest you trade it in a get a larger cc bike if you want a lot more power. turbo kit...uhhh. Engine swap....eeeekkk. maybe bolt ons like exhaust, power commander, sprockets, etc. Wont get that much power still tho.

engine swap - no. bikes werent really meant to be swapped. it was designed the way it was for a reason.

turbo kit - not really. bolt ons like what BoostedSi mentioned are good.

some work on the engine - sounds like your best bet. ive seen a stroked & bored gsxr1300 put down some crazy numbers. but then again, it was a 1300...
if you really want that much more power (assuming you already know how to handle it), just move up to a larger cc bike.

seriously its going to be cheaper and less of a pain to just get a bigger bike. not that you actually need a bigger bike- but phat chance i'll be able to convince you of that...

Are you trying to drag race? If you are just get another bike. If you're actually riding twisties I doubt you need anymore power than what it has to offer.

I would just jet that bitch with some nice fat pipes and call it a day...600cc is still a fast bike. If you really need that much more power you fucked up buying a 600 in the first place.
