What will they come up with next...

[milefile]

It's not a car, per se, so I put it in here.

Haha! My brother showed me that a few hours earlier, we were just looking at the monitor - laughing!

It sure is fast enough, and the weight of the engine is supposed to keep it from instantly pulling wheelies so it is supposed to be driveable. Kind of. I can't believe it's street legal though, and an engine designed for a vehicle six times the weight of this can't possibly stay fit on such a light chassis.

Besides, it's absurd when you consider that Valentino Rossi's Honda has est. 250HP, a Honda that can barely be driven by the regular John Doe. Whilst this beast doubles it (HP-wise)!

Whatever, as long as they keep it away from me.

 

[milefile]

300 mph?! That would make it the fastest production vehicle in the world, wouldn't it?

 

[whitez]

its never gonna get released....the chances are like a billion to one....ive seen so many of these...like 4 months ago they SAID to release a car on two wheels that does 300MPH+

I suppose, now all they have to do is find some-one who dares to take it to the test-track. Assuming it handles (if at all) at those speeds, which I seriously doubt.

Good grief, that thing's absurd... I think most people can get where they need to without going 300 mph, thank you very much. (Can you just imagine someone hitting a pothole at that speed?)

Or a telephone pole. Good-bye pole

Oh, and driver.

That's an accident waiting to explode... Its cool in theory, but the physics of it make it dangerous. I wouldn't want to drive that thing. But wait, its only $250,000 for four wheels and an engine that shouldn't be mounted on a "motorcycle". Not worth the cash. For that amount I could buy myself a few H2 Hummers but i'm not rich.

 

[milefile]

Yeah. I'd definitely spend it on something else... something I'd survive.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Erm, last thing I heard, 500HP V10 engines weren't particularly economical. So, looking at the form of that thing, I guess it's got like a 5 litre fuel tank. I don't think it could get to the end of my street!

 

[boostcreep]

I can just imagine them scraping up the "squid" from the road after an accident...

 

[Acid X]

Whoa, thats ALOT of hp for such a small bike...

Jebus.. And yeah, the accident would be horrible.. ick..

 

[Joey]

so...it has 2 wheels, and 4 tires?

 

[Josh]

"theoretical top speed of 300 mph"

"can propel it at speeds of nearly 400 mph"

Theoretical, not actual. That things stupid as hell, and about as aerodynamic as a brick wall.

 

[rjensen11]

Hell, a V10 500HP vehicle? I'd buy it if I had the $$!

It looks like it has for wheels(including tires) but maybe the "4 wheels" are connected in the middle somehow. Like an axel maybe?

 

[Josh]

I bet that thing turns and handles like a dream.

Or does it actually turn at all? How would you get that thing to turn? Make the front wheels "tilt" like those big tractors you see working on a new road?

this was in our paper this morning i looked at it and why the the biggest blue hell would they use an viper V-10 and it said that it could go 660kph now ware in the hell would u be able to go that fast on the road

 

[Pupik]

At Daytona's Bike Week a few fyears ago, a manufactuer was hawking a cycle with a Ford V8 underneath. Great sounds (more like an engine, rather than a niose-maker!), but the rider had to wear special Nomex boots or pants to go with it...they claimed Mark Martin owned one in his collection.

They claimed 300-350hp...on a bike...Yikes! I forget what the top speed claim was, but I'm sure only a coked-out idiot would try to find out!

 

[askia47]

it looks so stupid!
