An Awesome Sportbike!!
I figure I'd start off with a boom, or maybe even a ''Sonic Boom''. This bike is powered by a jet engine. I'll just give you some of the highlights that catch my attention. It makes 320 hp @ 52,000 rpm and it only weighs 460 lbs. It makes 425 ft lbs of torque @ 2,000 rpm, it does a quarter mile in 9.8 sec. @ 160 mph, and it has an estimated top speed of 250 mph. I think the coolest thing it says about it, is the fact that it can go 0-200 mph in 15 seconds. The transmission is a 2 speed and neutral. Trust me, this is the shit, the bike was totally wicked. It sounds like an actual jet plane flying by. No real engine noise, just an afterburner noise is all you hear. It was totally bomb. If my memory serves me right, they are selling them for a $150,000 each. They are totally hand built and everything. I know if money wasn't a factor for me, this would definitely be in my possession. The only question is, what to do with the girl?.?..?...?..... Ah, screw her, she would never want to go 200 mph anyway..........
