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.

Innovation and superior craftsmanship are apparent everywhere you look, from the carbon fiber wheels to the rear view mirror which consist of a camera and TV monitor located in the custom dash panel.

The Y2K Turbine Superbike was designed and built for the ultimate connoisseur, the individual who knows what he wants and goes for it. If nothing but the best is what you desire, you just might qualify as a "Pilot" for the ultimate motorcycle.
