    That thing is ugly, but I bet it moves. Do you have to run jet fuel in it?

    I imagine you do. It is a jet turbine. Like the Y2K bike only cruiser style.
    Jay Leno says he was in traffic on his turbine bike and a guy in a mercedes kept inching up behind him to get a closer look. He got so close that when the light changed Leno melted the guy's bumper with the jet exhaust.
    Our helo has a turbine engine, it breathes fire.

    It is indeed a comfort to know that I am not the only wackjob in the world.

    Definately a SPORT- tour bike.

    probably a range of about 75 feet.

    I like the copy: "USED TO BE NEW" :rolleyes:

    It said 400+ lbs of thrust with afterburner.

    Only there's no afterburner on that thing.

    Looks cool but I'd be shocked if anyone payed the $10k he's asking for.

    I also agree that it probably doesn't run longer than about 15minutes on a tank of JP5.

    I've owned two Magnas and I have to say that looks like a waste of a perfectly good Honda Magna.

    I'd hate to be the guy (or gal) at DMV trying to figure out if that thing was really street legal.

    "Well, it used to have a V-4 gasoline internal combustion engine, and now it has an inline single internal combustion chamber engine that runs on a kerosene derivative. Other than that, it's stock."

    PS I'm guessing at the "kerosene" reference. I don't remember, or care enough to look it up. :)

    "it can flash fry a buffalo if 40 seconds!"
    "aw...40 seconds? but I want it now!"

    That is one crazy ass bike.
    If you were to drive the rear tire with that jet I bet 2 things would happen:
    A) front tire would rarely touch the ground and
    B) Rear tire would be toast in 6-10 miles :biggrin:
