Insane... and by god we need more of it.

teletubby-warrior · September 24th, 2006, 2:56 AM

I wouldn't stand anywhere near that bike, let alone ride it!

Blind_Io · September 24th, 2006, 5:06 AM

Jay Leno owns one.

zeoniks · September 24th, 2006, 5:59 AM

I read about it in Bike a few issues ago. That is crazy.

bartboy9891 · September 24th, 2006, 7:30 AM

it sounds fantastic

Ultra_Kool_Dude · September 24th, 2006, 7:35 AM

Leno said that a guy in a BMW stopped too close to the bike at a red light, and the bike melted his bumper. 8)

As Jeremy would say, "so much speed followed by such a big accident."

niccce · September 24th, 2006, 7:47 AM

actually ghostrider says it's a big waste of money, you can read it on his forums. and i think i'm with him on that, the only thing i love about this bike is its starting sound. oh my.
come on, you can couple a turbo on a busa and its little freaky engine will output up to 700+ bhp ( some 600 bhp are really usable and available on the market ).

It's not really about the high horsepower as much as it is about the sound and the fact that you are driving a turbine powered bike.

It's actually factory quaranteed to reach 250mph. If it doesn't you'll get your money back...

Would I get my money back if I was too scared to go that fast? images/smilies/lol.gif

Something about that chain drive kinda scares me with that speed and power.

hanasand · September 24th, 2006, 4:40 PM

Oh my god that is so cool and insane..

And it's made by Americans! I'm impressed.

That sound is to die for. And the fact that it can melt other cars bumpers makes even cooler.

Now, when do we see it in a car? I wan't that sound in something with 4 wheels!

Are you trying to imply something? Because if you are I could provide 100 reasons why you are wrong.

Hey, that thing looks like fun. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Momentum57 · September 24th, 2006, 5:51 PM

Hey jetsetter find out what the car was that used a jet turbine i think it was a GM one of those future cars, big problem with it was that it took time to heat up, might have been used later as the batmobile, i cant remember but might be cool.
