I'd just be happy to have a motorcycle that is made without California in mind. How about a 1000cc 2stroke sportbike???

How much more could a bike benefit from that? My old 96 CBR600 (non-cali model) gets around 45mpg with hard use in the mountains.

*nod*

A "Jake-Brake" for motorcycles (only not... and yes, I understand it's not the same thing but humor me)

ya know... I used to wish my DRZ had FI for long trips, not having to fuck with a carb to get power for mountain passes and sea level.

but I know how, or can figure out how to fix a carb.... EFI? fuck no.

but my mindset is for what can/can't be fixed in Siberia... as I hope to one day ride through there...

so I'll go KISS

Shut up phenix. I dont want to talk to you. FYI. I found a turbo 650r on youtube. God created youtube so we could have something else to do than jerk to porn.

Is 50+mpg for 4 clinder bikes not enough?

dude, that first video was like a reject from The Blair Witch Project

I need to go vomit now from motion sickness.

Could be that I'm missing something... but those aren't connected to the intake...

No smokers, but these guys seem to have the right idea at least for enduro bikes:

950cc liquid cooled v-twin... in a 320lb dirtbike IIRC...

Early mockup I think. I wonder if he'll be able to build boost with that? Twins power pulses tend not to work so well for that...thou the kawi is a 180 deg crank

Do it across the northern half. Everyone and their mother goes across the Trans-Siberian Railway region. Not impressive.
