Came across this while browsing Gumtree....

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/kawasaki-zx10r-turbo-reduced-price-for-quick-sale/109316356

Now, as standard, it aint going to be no slouch, But with a turbo strapped to it. Surely that's going to be insane. Can't imagine the front wheel is on the ground much.

Any1 have any experience of a similar contraption?? I just can't understand why. Big massive balls must be needed surely.

It's for drag racing I guess, hence the long swingarm.

One of the people that runs the local strip up here sometimes is near 600bhp. Same turbo as my corsa.

Half the time extended swing arms are for looks but it does help the bike stop wheelieing
