If only we could get one in the VFR.

Pliskin · 11-05-2009, 01:54 PM

That thing is ugly, but I bet it moves. Do you have to run jet fuel in it?

drewl · 11-05-2009, 02:21 PM

I imagine you do. It is a jet turbine. Like the Y2K bike only cruiser style.
Jay Leno says he was in traffic on his turbine bike and a guy in a mercedes kept inching up behind him to get a closer look. He got so close that when the light changed Leno melted the guy's bumper with the jet exhaust.
Our helo has a turbine engine, it breathes fire.

I just saw that on another site yesterday. Made feel Inferior...:(

It is indeed a comfort to know that I am not the only wackjob in the world.

leftcoast · 11-05-2009, 03:21 PM

Definately a SPORT- tour bike.

probably a range of about 75 feet.

I like the copy: "USED TO BE NEW"

RVFR · 11-05-2009, 03:29 PM

Crazy, love it, he should give Mr. Leno a call. Ha could have be a better looking machine if he'd taken the time and fabric up a cool exhaust but over all bet it goes swoosh!!

and Jet A at $4.25 a gallon not sure just how far one would get, bet it's long enough that you'd want off though. IT figures the power plant was out of a helicopter

It said 400+ lbs of thrust with afterburner.

Only there's no afterburner on that thing.

Looks cool but I'd be shocked if anyone payed the $10k he's asking for.

I also agree that it probably doesn't run longer than about 15minutes on a tank of JP5.

Alaskan · 11-05-2009, 04:59 PM

Whoa. That is one of the ugliest bikes I have ever seen.

V4 Dude · 11-05-2009, 05:07 PM

I've owned two Magnas and I have to say that looks like a waste of a perfectly good Honda Magna.

Lgn001 · 11-05-2009, 08:33 PM

I'd hate to be the guy (or gal) at DMV trying to figure out if that thing was really street legal.

"Well, it used to have a V-4 gasoline internal combustion engine, and now it has an inline single internal combustion chamber engine that runs on a kerosene derivative. Other than that, it's stock."

PS I'm guessing at the "kerosene" reference. I don't remember, or care enough to look it up. :)

volks6000 · 11-05-2009, 10:50 PM

I bet it could cook a bird in 3 sec. flat

That's a fact. I bet it could cook damn near anything that came in range

tsiah · 11-07-2009, 11:12 AM

"it can flash fry a buffalo if 40 seconds!"
"aw...40 seconds? but I want it now!"

That is one crazy ass bike.
If you were to drive the rear tire with that jet I bet 2 things would happen:
A) front tire would rarely touch the ground and
B) Rear tire would be toast in 6-10 miles
