Anyone seen this? I don't know if it's old or not, but this is the first time I've seen it. I'd be too scared to ride this at all!

Kind of like the new Solstice package out now. There is a company sliding in an LS2... 400 horse and 400 lb/ft of torque... with future Supercharging or Turbo kits available...

The big thing about the viper-cycle is that it is totally undriveable on the street.. it has no radiator, there is exactly enough coolant in the engine to keep it from blowing up when they drive it off the trailer onto the showroom floor.

what does it do in the 1/4 mile?

There is one bike I'd love to have... Jay Leno has one.. it has a turbine engine in it.. .438hp or something like that.. I've seen videos... its nuts.

The engine comes from a helicopter.. its CRAZY fast... the redline starts at 60k RPM.. hilarious.

It's even less useful than the Tomahawk ...

Since it's a jet engine, it has serious throttle lag (in excess of 2 seconds from throttle input to throttle response). It is also said to handle quite poorly ...

As I said before, Turbo 'Busa = t3h w1n
