Title: supercharged XTZ
Post by: andy230 on September 20, 2006, 02:34:15 PM

I was leafing through last months MSL, and there was an article on the impressive (tho hideous!) supercharged Harley V-Rod.

It mentioned a prototype Yam XTZ which was supercharged in the late 90s.  They reckoned it took it from 37 bhp to 72...  not bad!!!

All I could find was this:

Cheers for now.

There was a full article about it in MSL about 18 months ago.  I seem to remember there were only two or three made.
