The 1190 Adventure engine is based off the RC8R, so, could you.. *dramatic pause*

Would it be possible to super-charge the 1190 R in a similar manner to that of the RC8R? I wonder how a 200hp+ adventure bike would handle in the dirt(traction is over rated anyways) I also wonder how someone on their sportbike would feel being smoked by an Adventure bike on the 1/4 mile strip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lCPjZnFfOaU Video is of a supercharged RC8R. So guys, what do you think? Any takers?

The out come would be the equivalent of mating a cobra and a mongoose: separately they're amazing, put together they'll try to kill each other.

I don't think you can keep the nose on he ground . Even 150 hp with out traction control in sport mood just flies. And the front wheel always sky high. Putting a super charge you need to reduce high change spoke wheels to carbon, and longer swing arm hen you might be able to smoke in a drag the sport bikes. The is a lot power on 1190 adventure and speed up very quickly anyway so turbo or supercharge would be madness.

Tancakar - sorry. That should say Ducati Diavel. Omg.

You had a few of us wondering! Ah the wonder of autocorrect eh?

Yep.
Hey Martyn, how does your diarrhea compares to the 990R?

Well I have to clench harder on the 990R when she gets out of shape than I do with Chile's revenge on the gringo

This was a very nice project too. Shame they folded.

I've already surprised more than one "sport geek" with my big white bagger......stock!

You know the saying, just because you can, does not mean you should...

I'd say pointless as the bike is to hi....rather slot a 1290 into an RC8R and then SC THAT!

Probably not so good against the 300hp++ turbo/supercharged sportsbikes.
