So having a read around on forums while trying to decide what kind of bike to get next year i csme across a thread on a ktm forum

TTS performance said they could make a supercharger kit for a 1290 superduke for 6 grand fitted.

(as a one off, less if more as most of cost is design work for cnc)

Just me or does this sound a very reasonable price for the most terrifying 30 seconds of your life before your inevitable complimentary creamtion?

That's the way to check out, going backwards, on fire, and 30 ft in the air.

Its a bit like fitting a turbo charger to a busa, do you really need it.

Superchargers i can understand more than turbos on bikes due to mainly being rhier for torque increases but on a super duke it seems insane

I quite fancy making an r1 into a streetfighter (like a more agreasive MT10) mainly cause rhe R1 frame is very pretty when you take the fairings off unlike most sports bikes.

A super charger on that would be good for making it a more useable machine.

I have a hill climbing friend who used a supercharged TL1000 for a couple of seasons came second & third in the national championships. Then built a bored & stroked 1200cc unit pushing 210bhp & a mountain of torque.

Totally useless, span up in every gear. He will be building my 1080 unit when i'm ready. With other work should be 135bhp at the tyre & almost a third more torque, so around 100lbs.

Added to the small weight loss of using cf bodywork & one off airbox & it should be fun.

It would be worth the money just for the sound it makes, I love supercharger whine. And I'm sure being a seasoned/sensible rider you wouldn't blow it up, well at least not for a whole minute

I managed to pick up a streeted 98 red/white R1 for £900 last year, badly advertised on eBay, turned out he'd kept all the bodywork as unlike most fighters it hadn't been dropped he just had a bad back. Came with everything so a weekend of swooping all the bits back & kerchinngg.. Its nice when the odd quick result comes up.

Latest sleeper I have here waiting its turn is an ex Performance Bike project from the 90's. YZF750R with a Wiseco 836cc kit in, all fitted & set up back in the day by TTS. Dynochart showing 104.5bhp standard & 129.8 post work. But its a shed & requires a lot of help. Just patiently picking up panels in the right colour scheme at the moment.

Very nice.

Need to learn to lay up CF for making bits and bobs.

A SF will be good for keeping the speeds a little less license loosing :p

I'm wanting ABS and TC now though.

Roads are just getting too crappy. Never had a bike with either though yet. Test rode a few and it's nice to have
