Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.
It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Not so much a HP2 eater, more a wallet muncher. If only I could afford it I would let it munch away.

Bloke on a forum I used to frequent put one on a vfr800. More than the chassis can handle. Very expensive, sorting the airbox is ro roral PITA ro do yoyrself.

Near on 40 yrs ago it cost in the region of £1200 for a Turbo kit for a Z1 (From the good old USA inc import taxes) £s worth of fun though, Supercharge or turbo the 12S, I dont think so--Doubt if the thing would stand up to it

Which was exactly what I was thinking - and one which has a transmission designed to take 140bhp.

Have a look at the AA performance website.
The orange VFR800 they did sounds epic. Gearbox and chassis struggle.
+1 for just buying a faster bike.
Serious cash once you include chasis upgrades.
