Best 600 to put a turbo on

thats why they make 1000, 1300, and 1400cc bikes.... they have a chassis to fit the power and the transmission is made to handle the power. you have no risk of blowing a motor and its cheaper to buy a 1000 than to put a turbo on a 600. there are no advantages to a turbo 600.

Waste of money buy a bigger bike 1k+

Liter bikes from what I have seen on CL, are typically only a grand or 2 more than their 600cc counterpart of the same year. Not worth the headache and frustration of trying to cram a snail inside your frame then dealing with the problems typically associated with turbos on originally NA engines.

None. No reason to Turbo a 600. Get a bigger bike.

Do they even make a turbo kit for 600cc bikes? I know they do for the busa and zx-14. If they dont then you would have so many headaches and trial and errors forming your piping and finding a small intercooler plus making everything fit. Good luck to each his own

to be blunt, all of the 600's from the big 4 are going to be bulletproof for their designed purpose...

i'd suggest going for the cheapest that he can find in bulk, the learning curve might get a little steep, and pricey.

There is a guy over on .net looking to twin turbo a 600rr. I think its silly to twin turbo it, its also got to be a fun project regardless. There were a lot of people initially ragging on him saying "its not the right bike", "get a 1000cc", "its not possible" etc... Its very possible to run low boost on any 600cc engine, higher and you will need to get new internals. There was a video posted up not too long ago about an older bike running high boost, so maybe that would be wiser for your friend to pursue? For now I will just leave some links here that I posted up on .net as well:

And here are some factory turbo motorcycles (two 650's and a 500):
