The Y2K is the world's first turbine powered street legal motorcycle of its type, powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine running on diesel fuel, the Y2K has demonstrated over 300 horsepower and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200.

Weighing in at just over 460 lbs the Y2K rides like a sport bike with the acceleration of a top fuel dragster. This motorcycle is at home in city traffic or cruising the super highways of Europe.

If it's a turbine engine wouldn't it have to turn 10k+  I mean its a fan... right?  I dunno shit about engines, but that seems correct.

With a wheel base that long that bike should be about as nimble as a dead monkey on a 3 legged dog.  Still look pretty cool and is prolly pretty fast.
