That'll be one to avoid IMHO.

The Turbo was over complicated and didn't produce much power. I doubt you would be able to buy parts for this bike now.

In the day, I had the Suzuki XN85 Turbo..again, too complex and requiring an engine rebuild every 20,000 miles.

The 85 referred to it's BHP...

Where are all these barns that people keep finding bikes in?

Siezed engine and a blown turbo at a guess. Even in their day they were too expensive to repair and tended to get parked up and left. I had a seca 750 for a while it was fun to ride but dire on fuel and a real wrestling match though the twisties.
