Lazareth Supercharge Buell XB12S

Bolting the supercharger from a Mini Cooper S onto a Harley derived V-twin probably isn’t the most logical route to increased power. As you can see, there’s a few packaging issues. Ludovic Lazareth completed this bike the day before the Paris show, so he’s not yet had time to get dyno figures. But expect significantly more than the stock XB12S’s 100bhp.

In addition to fitting the blower, Lazareth added single-sided front and rear suspension, featuring adjustable steering head angle and swingarm length. It’s rumoured that this could form the basis for an upcoming electronically adjustable suspension system capable of radically altering geometry on the move.

The bodywork isn’t as well resolved as the engineering. The tail is neat, featuring integrated lights in the seat unit, but the front reminds us of something you’d find in a late-‘90s German parts catalog.

Any dyno results yet? It is one cool looking buell!

hey, i like the bike very much as you i supose, but because i have a buell 1200 s, i ould like to transform the bike also, and my question is, the fork and tront suspension, all in one side how it ork's, because the bike have so much tork, is good to ride every day, or just to bike show.
