TRICK STAR has announced the launch of the "Z900RS TURBO Project," based on Kawasaki's popular Z900RS model. While the company has previously developed turbochargers for the ZX-25R and ZX-4R, this new endeavor involves installing a turbo on the ultimate naked machine. They have set a goal of achieving overwhelming performance that surpasses the "Ducati Superleggera."

Track Record of Motorcycle Turbo Development and New Challenges

TRICK STAR has consistently engaged in motorcycle turbo development. In the "ZX-25R TURBO PROJECT," they achieved a maximum output of over 100PS and a measured speed of 250km/h. Furthermore, they have built a solid track record by taking on challenges such as the 300km/h challenge with the "ZX-4RR TURBO PROJECT." They also state that they will continue their efforts to reach a measured speed of 300km/h with the ZX-4RR TURBO.
