I do know I want that kind of acceleration from my bug but that will take a little bit of work. Turbo will most likely be the key.

Where did you get your HP figures from. They seem a little high unless they are crank HP numbers.

Should be able to get 100K miles out of a "PROPERLY" maintained bike.

That is the crank #'s, it's about a 20% loss to the wheel. I want to dyno it soon. I think it depends on maintence and how hard it's ridin for life span, and I go through VW engines like a baby goes through diapers so I'll be happy with 60,000 out of the bike's engine. Also on bikes they can gain a couple of horses from certain spark plugs, every little bit helps. Oh ya my bike is not 750cc's but 748cc's.

Well since it is crank HP it makes sence.

What spark plugs are you talking about. Don't wast your money on some iridium plugs since you have to change them every year anyway.

Dynamic Balance to better than 0.02 oz/inch.

BG, guys run the NGK CR9EK instead of the recommended CR9E's and they have been getting 1-2 more horses. If I only get one horse from 25$ worth of plugs then thats worth it to me.
