cmoosego Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Fastest production Bike with over 500 ft lbs of torque and a top speed of over 277 mph... with a hefty price tag of 150 g's.... How many do you want? They only make 5 a year. So get in line now! http://www.marineturbine.com/motorcycles.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Kind of old news, Jay Leno has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah I know, but they have a more powerful model coming out this year. (according to the website) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Actually, somebody just posted a story last week about the fastest production bikes and this one was in there I believe. I'm too lazy to search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 yeah I looked but I didn't see this one mentioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ahh, ok I gotcha...this is a new model. I read the 277mph as 227 which i think is the top speed of the old one. Anyways, that's bad ass but 277...really? That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 yeah I guess the new one puts down a bunch more HP... they have an "upgrade" kit that puts out 420 hp.... on 2 wheels is crazy fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Not impressed. Honestly it comes down to price. I could have a really nice cager for that money. The whole point of having a motorcycle for me, is having the performance of a supercar in a much much cheaper package.This is doing it wrong.

cmoosego Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I see your point J, but the whole point I think is for people (who have way more money then you or I together) to have something unique... .and one has to admit it is very unique.

Disclaimer Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ohh yea, props for uniqueness for sure. Even though I think it's ugly.You're right, this is something for people that have way more money than we'll ever have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ohh, and everyone did read that these bikes have a 2-speed auto transmission, right?So, basically, it's an ugly, overpriced, 420hp scooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
