Suzi Suzuki (XN85)... that had a turbo. A reet bag! difficult handling hold on and ride!...like Kawasaki were until much more recently (or still are?)..... Honda or Yamaha only please!

Bikes with blowers its not really a good idea.... similar to bikes with cement mixers or dumper trucks.... only the Yanks got rid of the useful bits ( cement mixer or dumper but) and called 'em Harley Davidson .... Now that is a real old hag...big bore slow old and heavy...... there must be a website!

Oh back to the thread.... 2 strokes have been supercharged I'm (nearly) sure of that!... Montesa had some idea in the past.... Didn't Saab have a 2 stroke motor that was pressurecharged? on the 96 or whatever?

Not rocket engine Clive, but a turbo-jet engine. No point in those KO3's going to waste, only need the one anyway.

Here's a link to a jet engine a friend of mine built a few years ago. He never got around to finishing it but it's nearly there.
