Now thinking of getting something special and there's this Turbo Hayabusa for sale on Autotrader.

2003 Suzuki TURBO-Hayabusa GSXR1300/Black with a Hahn Racecraft turbo kit.The bike has never been involved in an accident nor has it ever been dropped.Title clear.This bike fires up and runs absolutely flawless.Great bike!. 6000 miles

Price is stupidly cheap which makes me wary. Anyone got experience of these?

Always thought 'busas were a little gutless!

No experience of em at all but remember looking at a dyno plot for the Radical Turbo which is busa engined & it gained somat like 100bhp in a 1000rpm incremant! scary enough in a 600kg car, christ knows how you would control that on a bike- hmm ill just tap on atiny bit of power as I exit this bend- WOOOOOHSH crash bang, oh feck!

But what a rush!

Even more dubious about the advert now as the phone number is non-existent. Sent an email to the chap who stragely has not replied with his phone number... Will wait and see.

Hahn are the cheapest of the cheap Turbo kits. They are ok-ish if set up properly but you can get better.....

Surprisingly easy to insure actually, I'm paying less than I did when it was stock

And sure it wheelies, in every gear if you want, but it's quite streetable. It goes as fast as you want it to
