Few people want to put much effort into anything, that's why I offered that as a solution. Bolt on / go fast. Air Research turbo kit is too much work for most. I liked Graham's answer best of all.. even better, replace with Hyabusa. AND, for our group, I'm pleased that nobody said Harley. Just like your CB160 ran so good ( I never told you that the guy I sold my wife's to, rode it up into Canada for a vacation ! ) and your 250 doesn't compare. If you ever rode a '66 450 and then a new one, you'd wonder where they went wrong. The twin cam 450 of old went low 14's and the new one you time with calendar. Blame it on the EPA.

As I mentioned in a previous post, water injection and 12.5 compression. It not only ups the HP immensely and safely, it also doubles your mileage, about. That means you would be getting around 120 mpg instead of 60. Mine gets around 60, so I am making an assumption here...
