I noticed that too but,I've never heard a turbo single before... It could be that,like all turbos,you have to lower the compression so the motor rarely runs "right" before the turbo starts to come into play...at least in my experience.

Don't get me wrong,I like speed as much as the next guy but my admittedly limited experience with turbo bikes found the lag and hit too long and too abrupt,respectively. There's no replacement for displacement,at least when it comes to bikes IMHO,of course.
