According to 'The Rules' it qualifies as a heavily modified Blandit. It is a great example of how with ingenuity and imagination even a Mk 2 Blandit can be interesting.

Basic question, but how rideable are these setups (talking about the more reasonable 230-250 hp bikes shown above) ?

I'm thinking spirited riding mode ON, speeding up to a bend, brakes, downshift, revs go up, turbo kicks in due to exhaust surge, and so you're lifting the front wheel while on the angle you're leaning over to take said bend ? 

Thats basically what caused the Renault Super 5GT turbo for example to go in straight lines when cornering back in the day 

 

Perfectly usable my one is, it's light, handles and is very fast. Thousands of road miles also.

Simple turbo bandit, Nothing special to you guys but there's no other old school suzuki's in my area

Mine isn't that fast, but that step in my seat is there for a reason!! First I had my old seat on, but when I opend her up I was almost sitting on the tail piece.

Also with the step in the seat it's easier to keep it under control.

 

I do start to think that my bike has more HP then I think..

When my bike was running way to lean and with the ignition too much advanced it cranked out 150HP. Hayabusa's crank out 160HP on that dyno, and when I fiddled around with the ignition timing and put bigger jets i it it gaind quite a bit more power, con rod snapping much

You clean your bike?

[NipsuGoesRace]

This is mine, built for streets and standing mile, so far everything works but probably never gonna be totally finish

[caferacerdan]

my 2 turbo bikes

my current play thing is the infamous 'Pyro' FBM kit 1216 gsxr motor in GSX ET frame. 300hp at the wheel on race fuel

my long term project wheelie bike. aiming for 300hp again but with a short wheelbase. probably going to convert to Fuel Injection too

[Jmckechnie]

‘90 750L

EFI, Borgwarner snail
200hp even at the rear wheel @1bar. Extremely streetable- so much so that I’ve even built a seat for my son to come along for a ride ( it hides under the rear seat cowling). It’s also fast enough to push 180-190 at the bonneville salt flats on the intermediate course.

Thanks very much. None of it could have happened with out the resources I picked up from this site and a few selected individuals in particular 

[Ragerover]

Had this from new it was the 1st L in this country I think 

heres its latest guise

ive a few more mods to do to it but too busy with the Busa’s at the moment 

with the shorter swinging arm it’s like riding my CR500 on steroids 

[Screwriverracing]

Mine, know awaiting surgery to have motec M84 fitted and  a list of stuff as long as my arm to do, not sure if I'll ever get it going or not.

Cheers SRR

I think you mean M48? - Good choice, if a bit spendy IMO, BTW.

No, it's M84 the cheap mans M800.

Why did you choose for this setup?

Because how you have it you have both a long exhaust and intake..

Iconic bike from my more youthful days, the years haven't aged them colours.

Shows how long i've been out of the Motec loop! I was aware of the M800 as that was the natural upgrade from the M8 I last used but the M84 is now a deffo option as I do have 8 injectors to control sequentially!
