    I picked up another Turbo parts bike. It is complete but unfortunately no ownership.
    Just 30,000 kms.

    This thing is perfect for someone who allways dreamed about turbocharging their XJ.
    I read onetime a guy was turbocharging a CB750 with all the Yamaha stuff

    Very nice find. I don't know if I would ever want a turbo vintage bike? I love the looks, Yam bikes in general, but for the twist the throttle and fun factor I would have to go with a new bike. I do hope you enjoy it or pass it on to a worth project person. Looks to be in good shape for the age.

    I have a buddy who drag races old gold wings because he gets them free.
    Racing him would be fun.

    Seriously what really caught my interest was it was listed as an 83 which would make a rare bike. It's date of mfg is 01|82 so not an 83.
    I'd like to get rid of the wbeels suspension and body work and just keep the unique turbo mechanicals. I could find a corner for that
