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. :D

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 :D :D

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.
