that said, i have never considered nitrous for my bike... i may or may not have a VERY SMALL turbo sitting in my basement for a rainy day....LOL
It is all about the oxygen and fuel. Nitrous might work out better if you go light on it. Don't shoot for a 150 hp shot, settle for 1.5 hp. Methanol injection might work, although that works better for forced induction.

Turbos suck on bikes. There's nothing like being halfway through a turn, accelerating out of it when the turbo spools up and the non linear power kicks the back end out.
