Did You Know That Four Turbo Motorcycle Models Have Already Existed In The 80s?
The current hypersport class motorcycle Kawasaki H2, with the supercharged engine, might be a "WOW" factor when you happen to know one of your friends is riding this! In Singapore, we heard of some guys that even mod their Suzuki Hayabusa with a NOS system.
And to even mod it with a turbocharger, would be damm insane!
But did you know that your grandpa would be one of the lucky fellows that rode a turbo motorcycle in the 80s?!?
