I bought this bike 26 years ago when a group of Badweather bikers were going to the salt flats and setting records, it looked like fun to me and this was my ticket to participate. I’m not sure if the old BadWeb is still around but all of this was documented. Fun was had.
Kids and family, so the bike sat. I put in a new battery, changed the oil and rode it some 10 years ago then the bike sat. This summer I changed the oil, replaced fuel lines and changed the battery. I rode it some and now the bike sits. Young me couldn’t have understood such a thing but now me sees that I’m hitting the rev limiter and it’s time to shift gears.
It came with the turbo, which is a pretty neat deal. It has its own oil system, constant loss. No lag and variable boost, you can go from a max of 5 PSI to around 12 by changing springs.
Other stuff: Baker 6-speed transmission, air to air intercooler, 8.25/1 compression ratio, thunderstorm heads, factory hard bags with the fabric liners and sandwich bags for inside the fairing. Service and parts manual. Binder of receipts and notes.
The paint has a few of the paint bubbles and the bodywork has some cracking. The tires are 20+ years old.
I’m happy to answer questions and post more pictures. I’m not sure about price so I’m posting at $6,000. I’m not too itchy to sell but kid motorcycles are crowding it out of the garage and I doubt I’ll ride it much.
