Your reference to the Bandit strikes a sad chord. 7-8 grand for the bike, less
than 4 grand for a Mr. Turbo kit and Voila! A serious street terror. Too bad
there's not a decent turbo kit readily available for the Vmax. Maybe some of
you oldtimers know the full scoop on that, but it seems a cryin' shame to me.
Terry Kizer sells turbos for every other worthwhile bike BUT the Vmax. I
remember Don Smith bringing up Terry's name in reference to a failed attempt to
market a Vmax turbo. What happened? I saw Terry's kit on a Hayabusa and was
impressed with just how well it worked, no lag - just gobs of power. Now that
would be a much bigger bang for the buck.
