ok im sure this may have been coverd before but being new here and looking at the bomb as my new weapon of choice i wanted to know what would be the best for rideablity and all out carnage......big bore or turbo....and on that where would be the best place to get either

 

IMO and you know the saying about A holes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I like the big bore of HPResearch (dependable and less weight & simple)

 

All out carnage....big bore and turbo. Start by calling HPR, but beware once you start it's hard to stop.

 

Big bore from HPR check out their site then give Randall a call. He's right once you start, you just cant stop

Go with both and a little nitrous and be done with it.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i had to decide the same thing when my 760 went down, turbo or big bore? after talking to hp research and going over the type of riding i do (mostly recreational not just racing) they talked me into the 730 based alot on the ride-ability and long life. i also liked the simple world of a carb and nothing else to deal with like efi,turbo ,extra stuff to come loose or get wet and go bad? i like the 730 i know they have 800+cc big bores but i wanted a pump gas motor the made around 70hp and didn't want to wait til x-mas for it (big back log on the 800cc motors) so thats my story and i'm sticking to it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I would love to have a turbo, but for the same reason I would like to have one is same reason I don't have one. I like the turbo because you say "i have a turbo" but I don't want mine to look fast.
Plus something I found out back when I was in streetbikes, my bike made 180+rwhp on motor, and on the gas it added almost 100rwhp. Even with mine making 270ish RWHP I wouldnt hesitate running a turbo bike making 300-325hp due to the fact motor and juice was right there right now.
I would think different for 1/2mile, but 1/8 or 1/4 the extra hp just didnt have time to show its head.

PS. I also want to put in a plug for HPR. Mine has many many hours of trail riding in some of the roughest in the east part of the US, with ZERO problems.

 

Gary has both big bore and turbo. I kinda like that - and he's got the 720 down.
