Doesn't Jay Leno have one of those?

That is one fast bike... faster than any of my angels could fly to keep me safe.

Very Nice!
 I do believe Jay Leno has one. I saw a program on TV about it a couple years ago.
 Thanks for sharing.

I was at a parking lot bike show in Los Gatos, California last year and saw one of these bikes. It was all black, looked awesome, and I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

Sure.  Hand them your drivers license and insurance card.  After your arrested and bailed out, you might get them back.  That is one fast unit!

Leno has one.

It's a mechanical turbne engine from a helicopter.

Sounds really cool to me since I am a helicopter pilot  :-*

I recall seeing it on one of the shows about JL's Big Dog Garage.
I think JL said it just kept accelerating the faster the turbine spooled up.
Never heard JL say it had a top end limit.
