Dry nitrous kits on a carburetted motor is useless. Fuel injected it makes a slighty bit more sense but not for anything you'd want as a daily driver since you'd be so concerned about filling the nitrous tanks every time you want to shave a second of your 0 to 60 time.

The problem is if you try to run enough nitrous to add significant power you run lean and grenade your engine. So the only way to be able to take advantage of those few seconds of extra power is running blubberingly rich. That alone will cripple your bike's N/A power, foul plugs and make it run so terribly you'll yank that nitrous kits and go back to stock in a second.

Plus those little whip cream cartridges only provide a few seconds of power. What would be the point other than drag racing?

And actually on small engines the risk is high and reward so little in terms of power. The Fast and Furious really overhyped nitrous. The only way things go blurry and you feel the "power" is if you have a nitrous leak in the cabin and start inhaling the laughing gas.
