Pretty cool. I wonder how it actually runs...I see lots of flamethrowing videos but unfortunately none of it hauling ***...I guess if you want to get noticed this will certainly do it.

Strictly a novelty but would definitely get you noticed! Jay Leno has one and has said that learning to use the power delivery of a turbine is the real challenge. Always having that lag while the turbine spools up could be interesting - especially in turns. You would not see another at the local bike night thats for sure.

I just thought it was neat because we've all seen the Y2K bike. Haven't seen any others though and this one is so much less expensive. I saw the Y2K years back at Daytona and it's ******' crazy...
Sure would like to ride one just for grins though.

Uggh. It is utterly tragic the useless pursuits some people waste their time on. This entire project makes no sense whatsoever. They can't shut up about it being the only "wheel-driven jet-powered bike with an afterburner." Hmmm... Maybe that's because an afterburner adds as much to a mechanically driven vehicle as tank-treads would to a helicopter.
