Seems like the clutch, driveline, final drive, etc. would be at considerable risk with all those ponies...

Wouldn't it be easier, and probably a lot more reliable, to just buy a crotch-rocket? If one wants a crotch rocket, buy one. If one wants an R1200GS, buy one of those. That turbo seems pretty damn silly. But I suppose if one has lots of $ to throw around, what the hell...

GS seems like kinda a weird choice for a drag bike, and that's the only use that wouldn't be hampered by that greatly reduced ground-clearance.
