If the [[Turbocharger|turbo]] represented a low-cost way of boosting the performance of an automobile, the weight and bulk of this bolt-on goody and its attendant plumbing made its advantages less obvious on motorbikes, where large-capacity engines were readily available anyway. But at the time Honda and Yamaha were locked in a bitter struggle for supremacy. The latter couldn't let the former outdo it in terms of high-tech features, even though at the period its finances were under considerable strain. | If the [[Turbocharger|turbo]] represented a low-cost way of boosting the performance of an automobile, the weight and bulk of this bolt-on goody and its attendant plumbing made its advantages less obvious on motorbikes, where large-capacity engines were readily available anyway.

Yamaha chose its XJ650L as a starting point. To speed development while keeping costs as low as possible, the marque decided to retain carburetors rather than shifting to Fuel injection. A small-diameter turbocharger minimized throttle lag. Otherwise, the machine was quite conventional, though its aggressive fairing made it look at least like a fuel-injected 750. However, its performance was little improvement on the normally aspirated version, and sales were low. | Yamaha chose its XJ650L as a starting point.

My XJ 650 Turbo draw attention at Tokyo Motor Show in 1981. The XJ 650 Turbo, the flashiest of the group, was the simplest, with pressurized carburetors instead of the fuel injection and without the single shock rear suspension the others boasted. | |||
