Not sure if it's old news but your right it's ugly and it wouldn't turn heads as much as snap them off trying to get at look at it as it engages warp 5 past them.

Thats a lie tin tin Im sure if someone payed you to strap a rocket bike to yourself everyone here would jump at it.

Jay leno owns one and there is a crap scene at then end of that shit movie with one.


WOW I thought I remember that movie being pretty darn bad but seeing it again just reminds me how bad it really is. Kind of reckless shooting handcuffs of a chick with a shotty isnt it?

I would love a Y2K. Purely for the ridiculous idle speed and the fact that it has a helicopter engine in it.

Imagine cruising through Claremont or somewhere on that thing. Shit would break and people would cry/bleed.

Ex heli turbine, detuned to chew diesal instead of kero. Was the fastest bike (top speed) when released IIRC. Obscenely expensive, and only available with auto 2 speed g-box Sound would turn heads though, along with the crazy red line... Oh, and I'd swap a kidney for one.

I'd take one. If I had half of Leno's garage I'd die a happy (and young) man.
