Honda is continuing to develop the DN-01 concept for possible future production.
If you were wondering, DN-01 stands for the first - 01 - vehicle developed under Honda’s Dream New - DN - concept philosophy
Big CC: 450bhp GSX-R1000 K7 Turbo
Turbo specialists Big CC are it again and this time, they’re getting up to 450 horsepower from the K7 Suzuki GSX-R1000. According to Big CC, their turbo kit for the Gixxer is designed to produce between 230-450bhp. ‘At low boost levels, this bike is very rideable, with nice predictable power delivery.
But engage the two-stage boost and it can wheelie in any gear at any speed,’ says the Big CC website. ‘Using a KMS secondary fuelling computer to control the mapping of various boost levels on enlarged secondary injectors, the kit comes with dump pipes but has optional full exhaust at extra cost as seen,’ it adds.
