KevinIf so, you'd better have a titanium bike -- cause that 1200 F exhaust could do a job on CF.

The shot of the guy riding backwards is amazing considering the cost of the bike.

Personally, I would have liked it more if they had compared the bike to something closer to home -- like a dragster or drag bike.

I find it odd when irrelevant (or near irrelevant) comparisons are made to highlight a product. Do people fall for this type of marketing?

No doubt turbines make spectacular sounds and have great power-to-weight, but they haven’t been too competitive against small internal combustion engines on cost or throttle response.

I’d expect the slow spooling-up of a pure turbine would be a pain in everyday traffic compared to most performance bikes – like turbo lag on steroids.

Better yet, on a quiet, wooded country lane. Creepy.
