Guest 240hybrid Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Americas over indulgence at its best I would say. I think the name of that bike should be "the ORGAN DONOR". Steering that beast must be a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Looks like a bike the Terminator might drive! 0-60 in 2.5 sec 500+ hp I wonder how it corners..does the chassis lean?..but leave the tires perpendicular to the ground? Talk about intimidation factor at a light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 well i bet they had to put 4 wheels on it because people would drop the 1500lb thing if it had 2. Ive ridden a 700lb bike, and that is pretty darn hard to keep up, i cant imagine that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeZguy Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I can see why all the top speeds are estimated, they have to try and find fuel tank truck that can go 300 mph also. Don't think 3 gallons of gas is gonna get that thing very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
