its a turbine engine from an airplane.

turbine + 2 wheels + seat = fast bike

i think jay leno has one of these (or something really similar to it).

if you're facing wind at 200+mph, you must fly off if you stick your head up a little ....terrifying. I'd say "cool", but that's just plain scary. Owners of that should be denied life insurance.

The sounds clips from the bike are f**kin awesome! It sounds just like a helicopter. They took them off the site but if you click the turbine graphic at the top of the page it sounds just like the bike. Imagine that passing you on the highway...lol

A buddy of mine got his bike up to 201 MPH, and he's since crashed it, got it fixed up, and then last week he totalled it on a patch of gravel.

I was on my way home and saw a couple bikes on the side of the road and stopped to see if I could help, and it ended up being him. He had just finished getting it fixed on Sunday, and then wrecked it on Tuesday. Poor guy ..

But damn, that bike sounds fúckin fast ...

Yea, I saw a TV show about different types of bikes. Some company takes the engine out of old hughey helicopters and puts them into bikes. There is a few second delay time after hitting the throttle until it starts moving, but after that the thing flys. Sounds like a jet engine when its accelerating, pretty cool.
