Would any of you ride this?

I know my answer would be "No. Hell no." But then again, i'm also paranoid on 600cc bikes.

What do YOU think?

the only way I would ever get on that bike is if it was still on the trailer and Jenifer Love Hewitt were there and was willing to be my nude co pilot

^That would about sum it up for me. And i would probably just push it back and forth in the trailer. STILL might poop myself.

600+whp in a CAR is ridiculous depending on the platform. But you want to do it on a bike?

Dude has thrill issues or something. This has to be a direct correlation of what the "jet bike" or whatever it was in "Torque" was like.

Heck yea! Given a chance I'd gladly give it a ride.

I would. I have seen bikes like that at Maxton. I wouldn't do over 200 mph in the standing mile, like they did, but I'd ride it.

I'm sorry... "burnouts at 160mph"... No. Not just no, but HELL no.

No, never. For one thing, I'd be afraid that riding it would also require maintaining it.

The MTT Y2K

I read one article that claimed the turbine consumed so much air that at 150mph the aerodynamics of the bike no longer apply. Essentially, you're riding on a jet engine at that point. The same article said that a test rider got it to 250mph before the rear tire exploded, he survived and said it kept pulling harder & harder the faster he went.

Fixed it for you. 2 hp per pound will likely take you to that kind of speed with the tire blistering the whole way!

Hell ya! Let me get my helmet and leathers. Wo-who I'd love to take it for a run or two.

44

I'd love to take it for a spin. As soon as my collarbone heals. You know, the one I broke on a scooter....

Welp.... i made the mistake of showing that to my girlfriend.

So far this week, her wants list:

Celica AllTrac
BMW 850csi
This bike

Boy, i'm in for some trouble.

Can I just have that engine for my Swift?

I would do it in a second. A friend has a shop and he built a turbo busa with 500 hp and wanted to get my wife to ride it since she weighs 1/2 of what he did. My wife was all for it, but we never got the chance to make it to the track.

Something about a bike with 600 hp just seems like a bad idea to me.

The local Boss Hoss motorcycle dealership owner's personal bike has a big block Chevy engine that I believe is rated at something like 630hp. Those things are overkill in stock form.

That engine needs to find its way into the LeMons MetroGnome

I met a guy who drag races them. We were standing in the infield paddock of Pocono Raceway talking about racing and the Boss Hoss came up. He said it could pretty much do a burnout from one end of the paddock to the other--basically until the rider couldn't control it anymore.

Sounds like fun!

I used to be able to do a long burnout on my 929 - the key was gas and front brake at the same time - that and a lot of race take-off tires.

I would ride this. I'd wear my gear though. busa, every turbo ones, are relatively docile beasts if you know how to use your wrist. short shift them until you reach your comfort level. And this one is turbo'd... lower the boost. I dont think it'd make over 350 whp on street trim.

To quote DILYSI Dave.....JIMP.

I would jump on that bike like a fat kid on a twinkee.

Bonnieville...here I come.

If i read the thread right, it's about 400whp in street trim, but yeah....

Even 300whp scares the piss out of me.

I would ride the wheels off it on a daily basis.

I gotta get a turbo busa. My Gixxer Thou and ZX11 just dont cut it any more.

yeah, you made the mistake of telling us how much she loves octane and apreciatable vehicles. Youre in trouble because your going to have to fend off a bunch of guys who hang out all day on a car forum

Two words: throttle control. That ain't no light switch on the right bar, ya know?

Hell yeah I'd ride it but I think I'd avoid city streets.

I honestly would be scared to ride that thing.

well.....maybe once....twice down a drag strip....
