Has anyone even SEEN these guys? IRL not just a webpage. Since what they have to sell is Vaporware, are they even real?

Ghostracer,
Many thanks for that link! If they can build a clutch that can handle all that power, I could live with a 180hp LT though I expect the whole enchalada wold be quite pricey.

Will

IMHO. LT has all the power needed in comparison to it's weight and driveability... It really is not a sport bike even though somebody who has been driving Harley Parkinson might feel like it 
Born to be wild so why not

Re: k1200lt turbos?
In my opinion, for what its worth.
Be nice to have a little more power from time to time, problem being, it would probably get me into more trouble than I need to be in. I've had stupid fast bikes (for their time) and am a little surprised I'm still here among the living.
A little more, say 10 to 25 horse power would be OK. Hang on a turbo, bigger injectors and maybe nitrous and you'll be over the top.
