Its a Y2K, pumping out about 320hp, weighing in aroudn 250kg's i think and if i recall correctly their trap speed at the end of a 1\4 mile is something around the 225mph mark
They butcher old bell ranger choppers(i think), graftt he turbine into a bike and blamo.
Jay Leno owns one of these(amongst other cool custom bikes)

Some might say the ZX12R is the fastest production road bike.

i thought that the current R1 was just that bit faster than the hayabusa
altho its not mass production and only sold in the USA they have some weird turbine powered motor bike ( i cant remember how they power the wheels but it was on discovery channel) with a single gear that goes well beyond 400kmph i think it was something around 425kmph as a top speed and it cost more than $100,000 US

Is it just me or does that car catch up in a big way once they're going really fast?
