I think Bob.....its just what you need.....!! ;) ;)

Except, please change the oil more often and get rid of that Fram filter!!

$6000 for a '99. A little expensive even with a turbo on it.
Higher mileage,higher maintenance and higher fuel costs,I guess it would nice for a barhopper or bike night rider.

Fram oil filter every 6k miles...

Did you mean Fram oil filter and oil every 6k miles !!!! over double what a turbo should get?

Or fram which it total junk IMO as i had 2 turn themselves inside out on my turbo volvo inside of the first 20 minutes..

I wouldn't give 200 bucks for that engine and turbo. The rest of the bike is another matter..

I didn't read Inter-cooler anywhere which to me is must have with a turbo.

The Motorcycle and Turbo have self contained oil sources as stated in the add. The oil was changed every 6,000 and a fram filter (Owner and maintance manuel both stated change oil every 7,500 miles) and the turbo was installed at 9800 miles when the motor was rebuilt. What bothers me is "Notes: Aerodyne turbocharger has a self contained oil source. The oil has been changed once, and the bike comes with an extra bottle of special synthetic oil and instructions to change at 73,000 miles." (quotes from his ad) does this mean the oil in the turbo was only changed once for the past 54,300 miles and the next change is still 30,000 miles away. I know the new oils worked a lot better but that is a lot of miles between oil changes on the turbo.

The bike lists for $5254 Kelly blue book. The cost of this turbo kit is $5000.00. He is selling for $6000.00 therefore someone will get the bike and the extras, turbo for only $746.00.

This seems like a good deal if the bike and turbo are in good shape, I wouldn't be so worried about the bike motor as I would about the turbo and the many miles between changes.
