Boost King, Eat My Dust

MO reader alanheng queries: "When are you going to drop everything and fly to Japan to ride the BK?"

He's refering to, of course, an ultra-cool Suzuki concept bike that they're showing at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Boost King. Motorcycle Daily has a picture of the bike on it's cover now, and a short piece on how cool they think it is.

Turbos and superchargers are awesome, if nothing else, they make nifty whooshing noises as the revs rise. And while this concept bike is cool, the rumor mill is buzzing with reports of a real turbocharged Buell in the near future, which would finally put them on par in the horsepower wars. Sweet, huh?

But for me? I say forget all that stuff. I'm going to...

...dig out my old GPz-framed, GSXR-suspended H2R 800cc two-stroke triple racer, and ditch the paltry 140bhp Denco Kawasaki engine in favor of this wicked 351 hp case-reed Aerocharged Suzuki engine! Eat my dust! I'm sure a highside off such a ride could reach terminal velocity! But, until that exact moment, think of the glory!
