The Joy of SX

摘要

Hitting the gas at any rpm-and by”any’I mean pretty much anything over 2,000 rpm-sends you pulsing forward.Do the same at 6,000 and you can substitute”rocketing”for”pulsing”in that previous sentence.Try it around 8,500 rpm and watch supercars fade into the background like so many Corollas.By 10,000 rpm,things are getting really stupid and you quickly start hoping the brakes are equal to the engine.This is what comes from adding a supercharger to a 1,000-cc superbike-a Kawasaki 1,000-cc superbike,no less-and then slapping some saddlebags on its hind end.Wait just a nitrous-oxide minute here.Saddlebags? Supercharger? What madness is this? Superchargers are silly enough all by their lonesome,but who would slap one on a sport-tourer?
