The Future is Here!




The Y2K is the world\'s first turbine powered street legal motorcycle of its type. Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine running on diesel fuel, the Y2K has demonstrated over 300 horsepower and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200.

I\'d take an El Diablo over that thing any day.  Although it\'s rather impressive to say the least.

I saw that on the History Channel for bikes. Jay Leno was riding the Y2K and he said that no one knows what the top speed on is. The fastest ever on that bike was 230mph until the rider backed off.

Overkill.  No one needs that kind of power-to-weight ratio.  As long as the price stays $185,000, I have no problem with it.  However, if it drops to $60,000 or $50,000, people might actually start buying them.

Actually, so what?  Let them kill themselves.  It shouldn\'t affect me.  I\'d rather have a vehicle that can corner fast, than a 2-wheeled freak like this with such tiny contact patches.  Notice how it runs on almost anything.... Diesel, Kerosene, JP A...  Pretty funny.  I wonder what\'s cheapest?  Certainly not jet fuel.

In that avatar Kurt, it kind of looks like Brittaney is eating Madonna, not kissing.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Yeah it looks goofy. The seat looks like it would hurt like a bitch. I like the whole turbine idea. Really futuristic but it has no place in society. And with that price tag? Please. 230....Damn

Yeah, but OCC essentially bolts on someone elses tanks and fenders.  Jesse builds his own.  That is the mac daddy.

They both make suite bikes, but I think West Coast has the edge in quality.

Speaking of OCC, the guys who built the fire hydrant carburetor for the fire bike are coming to be on our show in a couple weeks.  I guess they are bringing one with them to show.  They are putting one of their carbs on a 351 mustang we are doing.
