I met up with this guy today that had a Warrior with a Turbo and NOS. He's pushing 181 horsepower on this thing. He let me take it for a spin and it was unfreakin believable. Here are some pics of the bike and his dyno sheet.

maybe, maybe not. you have to admit though, for a lot of people, its really not all about the ride. In fact, I'd love to have a No2 kit on my Vespa. I'd love to see that look on peoples faces when I pop a wheelie in 3rd gear....ok, i wouldnt do that in reality, but it'd still be funny.

There are this group of people who are always hanging out at this WaWa (like a 7-11) in my home town, they have modded sport bikes, racked out choppers, etc etc. I think they sit around and talk about what their bikes look like more then they actually ride. As you know there are lots of people like that.
In fact, i'd venture to say thats what most choppers are about, looks and not ride.

the word poser comes to mind. Having said that i really like to ride that bike, and then give it back to him. Nitros doesnt work well in the turns. Some poeple are caught up in the fashion of it all and some poeple just what to have the biggest what ever. But if its different, than they at least have some taste.

That's a pretty trick setup. I wouldn't mind having something like that on my bike, but I like the relaibility. Anytime you add that much HP/Torque, you'll end up breaking something faster than you would with a stock bike. Goes with the territory though...

The nitrous wouldn't necessarily kick on everytime he turned the throttle. If he has it setup to only activate at WOT, then he'll be ok in a turn.

What's it run in the 1320 compared to a stock Warrior? Dyno numbers are ok, but what's it run in the real world?

Why not just get a 'busa?

The sheer amount of torque that thing must put out scares me to say the least.

The bike is putting out 181hp and alittle over 200lbs of tq at the rear wheel.
Why not just get a busa you say? Well, if you don't want the same bike that everyone else has, or you want the feeling of a Vtwin cruiser with balls of steel, than you shouldn't buy a busa. They are in 2 completely different worlds and if anyone knows anything about bikes, they will know what I mean.
