MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K: 227 mph (365 km/h)


MTT Turbine Superbike 


As the leaders in turbine innovation, MTT has produced the ultimate in high performance machines: The MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE. The critically acclaimed SUPERBIKE is the world's first turbine powered street legal motorcycle in its class, and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production" and the "Most Expensive Production Motorcycle".

Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine, the SUPERBIKE has demonstrated over 300 hp and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200, and has been clocked at a record-breaking 227 mph (365 kph).
Representing the latest in engineering technology, the bike features carbon fiber fairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display, forward- and rear-looking radar detector with laser scrambler, one touch "Smart Start" ignition, and more. The MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE is starring in the Warner Brothers movie "TORQUE", and Men's Journal lists

the bike as one the most "awe-inspiring, innovative, and otherwise amazing designs" in their feature article "Perfect Stuff". With production limited to five per year, it's no wonder the SUPERBIKE has become a revolution.

New Yamaha R1 unveiled at Eicma

THIS is Yamaha's 2015 R1, with more power, less weight and a sophisticated new electronics package. The new version of the flagship sports bike makes a claimed 200hp and weighs 199kg wet, 18hp more and 7kg less than the current model. It gives the new R1 a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1hp/kg and one of the best available in any bike on the market. It's got a new crossplane engine with titanium fracture-split conrods, a 10.5-litre airbox, two-directional fuel injectors and a titanium exhaust. Highlights of the new eletronics package include banking-sensitive traction control and ABS, launch and lift control, power modes and a quick-shifter.

Pam Bondi plays defense Bondi defends against quid pro quo accusations, state Legislature looking at $1.3 billion budget shortfall, Gary Johnson unsure of Aleppo Even though a week earlier, her spokeswoman had told media that Bondi's office was "reviewing" complaints against Trump. And even though, two weeks before that, email records show that Bondi's top staffers – at least nine of them, including her chief of staff and deputy attor...
