[@ericellquist7007]

Nice collection of videos, It's great to see what ingenuity can accomplish. As I understand it, many of the old two stroke racing bikes used superchargers ( you should see the videos of the 50 cc class at the Isle of Mann), as well as some of the old automobile manufacturers. I believe that the old Bentley Le Mans racing cars used a supercharger with direct drive from the front of the crankshaft. If I'm not mistaken, the P38 twin engine fighters used superchargers and nitrous for increased speed and ceiling. Sure, you can buy something that with electronics and micro-tolerance technology will out perform any old tech you can find, but where's the challenge in that? I'd rather see some guy riding a machine he built himself in his barn, than some rich guy who can drop a hundred g to get someone else to design and build the latest hi-tech whiz bang.

[@keatoncampbell820]

Actually, you'll find the inherent losses in electrical systems tend to make them far less effective as a turbo or a super. The biggest issue is generator efficiency, which is between 50-80%, whereas mechanical systems with few parts can achieve high 80s. When you're trying to improve power via a feedback loop, the higher your efficiency the more power you have to use to moving instead of spooling, so mechanical systems still reign supreme. It also is more reliable as the speed of the super or turbo is mechanically linked to the engine speed, no control circuit or driver circuits which also require some power. Besides, the best turbo bikes are the ones that use turbine engines. They're pre-turbocharged! Can your piston engine hit 40,000RPM? I just want to see bikes to the way of aviation, with rugged reliable piston machines for lower speeds and maneuverability, and turboshaft motors for high speed speed demons screaming down the highway. PS-flying cars are way less achievable then flying bikes. Take a turboshaft bike, give it shitty wings, speed down the road at 200mph, take off and stick it in neutral so that the thrust from the motor propels you. Flying bikes!

[@eddiecaplan1908]

A turbo on a harley, 😀,its like putting a thermal image scope on a flintlock musket

[@wonkylommiter6364]

So now that Harley does 70MPH instead of 50MPH? Just joking.

[@Willie_MN]

Yup! Actually, one of my Harley-Davidson's will do nicely north of 100mph. Not bad for a "Touring" bike. My Buell (Special Built Sportster engine powered - See Eric Buell if you do not know about them) was a blast to ride. It would leave riders of non-American made sport bikes scratching their head by the next stop.

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

I've worked on a couple ol "American turbo pack" bikes. This was the same company who make the kit Kawasaki sold as the Z1r turbo. The turbo itself was a little oversized which made the hit a bit much when you got on it, and they had a tendency to flood when starting. One interesting one was a luftmeister turbo kitted BMW RS that I got put back together and running for a guy. Was a better thought out kit and worked well, but it also cooked the top end of the engine.

[@johnbingaman3645]

Sound like when the turbo kicked in it made the engine run way too lean which would melt the top end put a hole in the piston
