Yeah that is a big-bore bike with a turbo that also runs nitrous.....
it is trully a ONE of a kind and probably costs somewhere over $100K....there is probably a small handfull of bikes on the planet that can match it.
Just for comparison, the fastest MotoGP bikes only broke 200mph last year. And those bikes are like 250hp, weigh 300 lbs and cost about $1 million.

Do you ride? I did 145mph once and that was more than enough for me....
everything was moving waaaay too fast and I kept getting bad images in my head what if something goes wrong.

Yup. Of course that was late '80's technology + 1100cc engine + 100lb me.
That GSXR needed a very firm hand above 120. Yes, I've gone faster, but 130 was were that bike started to take some work - at least for me ;-)

Did some wild and crazy stuff when I rode, so no more riding for me now :)
I think the same as you now. Splat! Even worse, potentially splatting other people.
Bikes make cars feel so tame. It's to hole shots and drag racing, what cocaine must be to an addict ;-) Much too much temptation to be naughty ;-)
