What's useless about that bike??? Maybe for cornering but top speed it would rape anything out there.

yeah, I guess. but the way the power comes on and especially drops off with an engine like that doesn't really lend itself to a bike very well. But yeah, if you wanna go fast in a straight line I guess it would do plenty of that!

Wonder how fast Leno's had it. . . . . this just occured to me. I bet he pays a lot of money in vehicle insurance. Anyway, this site Ride ON - Jay Leno Jet Bike says a theoretical 266mph

I saw it on discovery a year or two ago when he first bought the bike. From what I remember, with the turbine engine the higher the speed the faster the turbine spins, the more power it makes. They took the bike to the salt flats and his rider said at something like 248mph the front end started getting real light because it was pulling harder and trying to pop a wheelie so he let out.
