PSI my bike??
I'd like to see if you guys have opinions about this. The notion seems a lil crazy to some people. I've asked a few people at work and all have pretty much told me I'm completely nuts but, please give me the benefit of the doubt. Most of you know that I just bought a brand new CBR and just yesterday, she's past her breaking in point. Since my EP and my brother's DC5 are boosted, I was thinking about boosting my Repsol CBR1000RR...any thoughts?? Yes, No, Maybe?

If you can handle the power and keep the front wheel on the ground then do it up!
as a side, check out this vid of a Suzuki Hayabusa with a turbo..

You are nuts. There I said it. That being said, I only know of one person who has boosted a bike and that's my buddy Darien and it's on a R1. And it's DAMN fast. I'm not sure if the roads in Japan will accomodate a boosted bike. At least here, the roads are long and wide and turns are gradual. I can't imagine how it would be like in Japan.
Just my 2 cents but, hey, whatever rows your boat right?

My vote is for "no". I think turbo lag would be more pronounced in a motorcycle.
I had a 'Heisei gannenn' CBR250 when I lived in Tokyo and it was fast enough for me, a CBR1000 should be fast enough for anyone in Japan.
What about 'shaken'? I think there would be issues with that if you had a turbo...
BTW, there have been OEM Turbo motorcycles... Take a look...

If your a casual street rider and do the odd trackday, 150rwhp should be plenty I would think.
Unless your competitively dragracing your bike or involved a contest of testosterone with money to burn I'd definately have to say no. Practicality is Nil.
