I wouldn't want one as I'm not one for gimicks, but I do like the noise.

Totally awesome, love it. Make mine with an afterburner, please!

But actually, this is about all I can afford :(

Cool Bike.

I hate when they race motorbikes against jet fighters in an acceleration contest though.

OF COURSE the bike would win it.

But race it from New york to LA :rotfl:

I remember from my childhood one other vehicle with that turbine exhaust note: The Batmobile! (Yeah, I know it was dubbed-in; even so it was cool!)

To me, what's impressive is that jet cycle's stability -- can you imagine a speed wobble at 200 mph?? :o

My local city runs one or two gas turbine/electric buses.

They make a nice noise when they start. Very futuristic.

I got a speed wobble just over the ton on my old Honda CB750 four!:oops::yep: I needed a clean set of jocks, literally scared the crap out of me!!:lol: Turned out the spokes were really loose & you could move the rim around by hand!!:dead::roll:

Perhaps it has a steering lock?
Or at least some heavy duty dampers for the high speed runs.
