It seems then from what you say that given a bit of set up and getting used to the blower, my trackdays times will get a little better, but the really important issue, the GRIN factor, will increase dramatically! I'm confident too that having ridden this bike for a couple of years already, the addition of a turbo unit will do no major harm to the 'feel'. I had a brief discussion on the ixion list a while ago about this but came to no conclusion as to whether a 600cc turbocharged bike (160hp/170kg) would ride similar to a stock R1 (150hp/170kg). The insinuation by the other party was that the T6 would be all over the shop as the boost came in, the Yam's power being put down more progressively. This may be true, but I'll have the happiest pants! Regards, Andy
