Another thing...I'm by no means a stunter, but I can twelve and highchair. Wheeling a turbo bike is a whole different matter cause of the lag and then the sudden power. Took me a while just to be able ride those wheelies.
If you never rode a turbo bike, let alone a bike, it's unexplainable.

ive been playing with the idea of turboing my 954, not so much for performance but just as a novelty so i can say i did it. i dont even ride the bike. i havent actually had it out since maybe the middle of spring. just no real motivation to ride it. id be curious to see some pictures of your setup.

as for the wheelies, looked like you yanked on the bars while i was watching

Yup I do pull on the bars...but I do that out of habbit and to make it more controllable when it comes up since I can't clutch the wheelies up. When you first pull it up, it's pretty hairy cause of the turbo till you get it stabilized, then you just gotta be perfectly smooth and not give it a chance to boost or it can flip very quick. Like I said, turbo wheelies are a whole different thing that took a while to learn. That's why you don't see any wheelies being actually "ridden" on turbo bikes. If someone can find a longer wheelie than mine on a turbo bike, I'd like to see it. Seriously.

Like hell you can't skip gears. Clutch in, click twice, clutch out. Same as shifting one gear, just click the shifter again. Unless you're shifting without a clutch I don't see why you can't.

One of the reasons I did this bike was to use it as a testbed for when I do my 929. I'm going to supercharge the 929 though. Turbo is more power for sure but with a supercharger at least it'll behave more like normal bike. If you don't care about riding wheelies, turbo all the way

honestly if i do it, i probably wont actually ride the bike, or if i do i probably wont actually rip on it. like i said, the bike is already too fast for me (im a ----- on it). i think its only actually hit above 10K 3 times since ive owned it.
