btw, a Y2K Turbine Bike
As the leaders in turbine innovation, MTT has produced the ultimate
in high performance machines: the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE. The
critically acclaimed SUPERBIKE is the world's first turbine powered
street legal motorcycle in its class, and has been recognized by
Guinness World Records as the "Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to
Enter Series Production" and the "Most Expensive Production
Motorcycle". Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine,
the SUPERBIKE has demonstrated over 300 hp and 425 ft/lbs of torque
on the Dyno Jet 200, and has been clocked at a record-breaking
227 mph.
Representing the latest in engineering technology, the bike
features carbon fiber fairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD
color display, forward- and rear-looking radar detector with laser
scrambler, one touch "Smart Start" ignition, and more. The MTT
Turbine SUPERBIKE is starring in the Warner Brothers movie
"TORQUE", and Men's Journal lists the bike as one the most
"awe-inspiring, innovative, and otherwise amazing designs" in their
feature article "Perfect Stuff". With production limited to five
per year, it's no wonder the SUPERBIKE has become a
revolution.
