All I have to say is WOW. I knew that for many years there were turbokits for bikes I just did not know they also were that advance on water systems as well.

I ran into this website just a moment ago and I think there is a lot of awsome information that you might like, I am very impressed with this water technology for bikes as well. The turbo plus the water system produces 145hp on this particular bike, not bad if you ask me..

I know I am not the only motorcycle rider on this forum so I want to share some opinions with you guys, by the way, I am looking for a BMW K1200 GT bike, does anyone here owns one that could give me some feedback on it? I went for a test ride on the K1200RS but it forces you to go kind of leaning, I want a comfortable touring bike.

I don't think systems like this are really practical. They have never been used in Moto GP, where non production, new technology is the purpose of the class. If it was a good idea theses 1.2 million dollar machines woud have it. Also, if it can't be completely reliable in the harsh conditions of a bike it would only make things worse if it failed.

Speed is not the limitation of a motorcycle. They normally reach higher top speeds than F1 cars on the same tracks but at these same tracks an F1 car claps 20 seconds faster. The problem with a bike is always traction. You have a footprint holding you to the ground that is the size of one mens size 10 1/2 shoe. A bunch of additional horsepower will only make the traction problem worse and slow you down. I remapped and pulled 12 HP out of my bike and improved my times a great deal by not spinning off corners as much and keeping the front end down most of the time. The key to better bike performance is suspension, not power and the tires of course.
