So here is a question for the few of you that have turbo busas or even any turbo motorcycle and weigh over 200lbs.
With 350hp or less, what gearing do you run for the street and/or the strip. FYI, I have an 06 with Ghetto Stage 1 w/intercooler, S2000s at a max of 300hp w/race fuel and 250hp on pump.
I'm at 5300' and ride as high 10000' and currently weigh in at 250lbs unsuited. Plus the air up here sucks eggs. I opted for the 18/46 combo. A little steep on the rear but on the street I wanted quicker rev up with the turbo. Ok, with stock wheelbase and height it's hard to ride really. But if I lower it a bit without stretching it, I can manage a little. I need all the help I can get to keep ahead of the pesky 100lb litre bike riders. Bastards are stinkin' quick without any skills to boot.
The reason for this post is that their are really not that many turbocharged motorcycles at mile high. The data is scarce and with my many years of super/turbo charging have found that what works at or near sea level definetly doesn't always apply up here in the heavens.
So chime in.......
