I don’t know. Take your pick:

Probably putting a turbo on a liter bike. Total for used bike and turbo kit? $10k maybe? It is coincidentally also the most dangerous way to hit 200

What’s the terminal velocity of a 2001 Hyundai dropped from a plane?

Went to a BMW dealership walked, walked around and no one asked if I could be helped. I was looking for a 330i.
