Helicopter engined bike

You don't feel an urge to try it out?

Each to their own.

yeah .. kind of ... but I don't think my reactions would be that quick ... 420 horses is insanity ...

Favourite quote from the 2014 article...

"and the noise is expected to be significant"

It is ..

Jay Leno has a Y2K in his collection.
He tells the story of a guy in a VW inching up to him at the traffic lights to get a closer look at the bike. Leno inched away but the guy in the car kept moving up too. What he didn't realise was that the bike's exhaust was melting his front bumper.

Yeah .. I was standing behind this one in Hamilton for a very short time ... the exhaust is insane ...

Who said my reactions would be quick enough either? My plan would be to not put myself in a position where I needed to rely on my reactions

Going for a jaunt along Ardmore airport for instance.

Mate - you open the throttle on that think on Ardmore you'd be in Papakura before you could blink !!!

But seriously ... I was listening to the engine wind up and down in hamilton and he was barely moving his throttle hand .. could only see his hand move if you looked hard ... God knows what it rides like ..,.

I read an article about the Y2K (not exactly a road test) and the main impression was that the thing was cooking the guys legs. The local version might be a bit of a leg warmer too.

Shit aye - everyone wanting to copy Ducati.......
