The Yamaha Y2K

Ugly as Sin but my god a street legal bike that does 0->200 mph in 15 seconds. thats gotta turn someones head.

Is it Old news??

2002 Marine Turbine Technologies Y2K Superbike specifications and pictures

[Roller]

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.

[Tin Tin]

so old its got cobwebs on my friend. You only need to look at the date on the link...2002?

I wouldnt even own one if someone paid me.



EDIT: also... where did you get the idea that its a Yammy?

[kwakas]

i reckon it's awesome... looks are very dated, but still... how quick!!!

[Aphex]

Meh... bike with a heli engine...

Not a Yamaha mate....

Jay Leno has one.

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?

[duffman]

hahahah i forgot i had ever wasted 90 odd minutes of my life on that movie.
would love to know what was powering that Harley. dreams and imagination?

[esquire]

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.

[sathid]

Where did you get yamaha from?
Old news...

[Mckenzie]

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

[TYSON]

Yet to bust 200mph at an event.

[Rizzo]

Diesel? Put a snorkle on it and you can do deep water crossings too!!
