Y2K Superbike


The
Y2K is the world's first turbine powered street legal motorcycle
of its type, powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine
running on diesel fuel, the Y2K has demonstrated over 300 horsepower
and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200.
Weighing in at just over 460 lbs the Y2K rides like a sport bike
with the acceleration of a top fuel dragster. This motorcycle is
at home in city traffic or cruising the super highways of Europe.
Innovation and superior craftsmanship are apparent everywhere you
look, from the carbon fiber wheels to the rear view mirror which
consist of a camera and TV monitor located in the custom dash panel.
The Y2K Turbine Superbike was designed and built for the ultimate
connoisseur, the individual who knows what he wants and goes for
it. If nothing but the best is what you desire, you just might qualify
as a "Pilot" for the ultimate motorcycle. |

The Future is Here, NOW!
