    Seems like an interesting project. My main problem with the Turbo's is their looks. Never was my cup of tea. I'd have to strip it down to more of a "naked turbo" bike, but that would probably mean adapting some other tank to it, fitting a headlight and turn signals in addition to a custom seat. Shit, you got me thinking about it!

    Good thing it is way too far away for me. Seems like a pretty stiff price for it's "locked up" condition too. I do hate to see them be wasted.

    How much different is the NA 650 from the turbo 650 motors?

    could I use a doner 650 and make all the necessary turbo changes?

    Damn, I have a spare 750 engine that runs. If this was closer I would bite on it.
