    The throttle response sucks, as in it keeps accelerating after you let go of the throttle for a second or two. Not a safe bike at all. Not too good for long rides either unless you are towing a gas pump.

    no benifit to the turbine except novelty, if you are crazy enough to want that type of power, turbo a busa. You'll have a better bike for less than 1/10 the price.
