I think that would come in handy zipping across the desert to Las Vegas!  :2vrolijk_21:

You might want to think about wearing some asbestos chaps when you ride that thing.  Looks like the headers will just fry you legs!!!!!      :P :2vrolijk_21:

Sounded nice when started up, loud as heck. They also had a version with NOS. I suspect the development in the company have anticipated the extra header heat. I do agree it looks to be a painful long ride. With probably 8 miles per gallon, it probably has a lot of time to cool off when you stop for gas. Still a way cool ride, especially with a NOS tank strapped to the side! Mad Max style! I pictured a John Belushi type character riding it.

The cost of the bike was about 45K. They had a used one for 37k. Really a novelty item for a specific niche. They told me the bikes were legal to ride on the street.

I would consider one if it had a v10, NOS, and a supercharger on it! I think it would benefit with a countdown when you started her up 10..9..8..7..6...
