360+, good points but has that BMW been around since 86 and what do they cost???  I bet equal HP from a savage is possible for alot less money.

There is also a few other things to consider on the Savages motor.  The oiling system is a low pressure low flow so it's not really suited to feed a turbo unless you figured out some way to plumb in an aux pump to feed it. 2. It's an air cooled engine, which puts extreme demands on the oil as it is already, add to that a turbo, and your cooking the oil very quickly, and also most likely going to overheat the engine do to the temps you are now getting your oil to by adding the turbo to it.

Just a few more thoughts for ya on this.

I had though of this, I would be using a 53 series Aerocharger. Aerochargers don't use oil from the engine, they are a self contained unit.

Yep, I wasn't suggesting jumping from Savage to Beemer, because then you'd go from riding an apple to riding an orange - two entirely different personalities.   I was just saying that many modern stock motors start out with more hp than the nearly 30 year old Savage might even be capable of.

Not to say that with enough work and mods you couldn't achieve something spectacular...

Impressive looking V8 bikes in that link, but not my glass of beer just going straight. I wonder how one of these monsters would do against a Savage in the twisties...

There was a dude who came to the Miracle Ride with a Boss Hog V8 bike.
Took 3 people to help him park it.

If you want to go real fast, don't start out with a bike that only produces 30+ HP . . .

Dumping 3600 bucks on a 600 dollar bike is a bit crazy to me. Your time and money would be much better spent on putting a different motor in there.

If you want to stick with a single cylinder motor go with a high compression dirt bike motor. They have come a long way and are getting about as much power out of a single cylinder that can be done currently. You will be getting about 55 hp and 36 lbs of torque. Its lightweight and reliable.

Otherwise put a turbo sticker on it and call it done.

Of course most now are water cooled and thats going to change the look of the bike.

Air cooled = limited power in most cases.
