Guest Ken D Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Suzuki Prototype: Boost King Has a turbo charged Hyabusa motor. Came out in 2002... will it be dumbed down for the consumer? Who knows. I am sure leather would fuse to your bones on this. Ken D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm guessing that if it ever does get produced, it will be dumbed down a bit. There was a rumor that was going to be released with a n/a GSXR1000 motor. Here is my favorite new prototype from the Intermot show: Made by Derbi, and uses a Yamaha 660 single. Looks like fun to me!

Neil Gendzwill Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Whimps. They're not going to keep up with Triumph and it's 2.3 litre Rocket III? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken D Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hey Bob, I've looked at that before. I think its only overseas right now BUT i would love it in the states. It's a beefed up Road Warrior twin isn't it? Yamaha makes GREAT stuff! I miss my FZ-1. Ken D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Originally posted by Bob Jenney Just got the latest issue of Fast Bikes. They confirm that Yamaha is going to make a bike based on the MT 01 and MT 03 concepts. The concept Mt 01 is an 1700cc V-twin. http://www.motorcycleasia.com/yamaha_mt.asp http://ymedc.introweb.nl/en/archive/street/mt03.shtml Question is will it be more like the MT 01 with 150lb-ft of torque? Or more like the MT 03? (Single with ??? HP/Torque) Yep! Euro only at this point. Here's the European Yamaha site: http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/products/motorcycles/sport_roadster/MT_01.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 for Aprilia's replacement for the RS250, which is rumored to be a 4-stroke v-twin 450, that will weigh basically nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken D Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 for a harley 1200 sportster... time to slow down a bit and style up. The FZ1 is a flawless ride in my opinion though. Most powerful naked yet. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new 4-stoke 450 v-twin looks to be an awesome little motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken D Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 The last day i had the FZ i cracked the throttle up tapping 150mph, the bike was still pulling hard! I backed off due to nut shrinkage. Real speed, I miss but i ride 2 up alot and wanted a little more comfort and slower thinking. That R6 is GREAT! I knew you would like it. Amazing what 600cc inline 4 OR any inline 4 can do. SMOOOOTH! Rode my buddys gsxr 750 the other day... YEEHHAAAH!!! He is trading up for the GSXR1000. I love the harley but throttle response a non option. One thing that is nice about harley is the machine quality is excellent. I am doing a bit of performance work to it but its still a potato maker. PS: Bob did you do some jet work on it? Ken D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Originally posted by Bob Jenney ..Blue Flame decides to make a can for my bike. Not sure if you’ve seen them, but they have on the fly removable baffles... Yep, the Blue Flame "EVO". I like the idea of the removable baffle. Most of the exhuast manufacturers make slip-ons like this, but they are only available in Europe. The Blue Flame is the only one I know of that is readily available in the states. It's nice to have the option of being noisy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
