Supercharged 400 Horsepower Speed Triple

Put that motor in a cruiser chassis and I'm IN !!!

They are using water/methanol in the system to prevent catastrophic detonation (figure about 300 octane for a sloooow fuel burn). The only place all that power can be used is on a long airport runway where the power to overcome wind resistance can get it to top speed. Twist the grip coming out of a corner too hard and the rear end steps out as the tire spins up (see video). The bike might set a new six up power wheelie record with a passenger on the front fairing, but that's about all it's good for.

To be fair, it's just a rolling advert for the company that built it and the engineering work they do. It was never intended, I'm sure, to be any serious kind of race bike, whether hill-climb or drag racing.

I could see putting a 10" slick and wheelie bar on it and enjoy watching what it'll do in the 1/4 mile. Hmmnn..............

Alien rider, 150k, track only ofcourse, gives me a big woody! I would love to ride it, i do not have the skills to do what that cat was doing on that thing, however i would give a left or a right to go around that course one time. Superchargers are so cool!

I could see doing that to my T-Bird Storm (the gutless version of a power cruiser). It would look like this: (only mine is black)

NOT ME! I would kill myself!
I rode a friend's B-King once. It was so wild, there is no way I would allow myself to ride anything faster.
What a tiger by the tail it was!
