Thats the new helicopter powered jobby....looks like a sperm whale

Seen one for sale in the flesh, bloody amazing ;)

Would look better with ape-hanger bars

EVERY bike should sound like that!

Idles at 25000rpm..

Redline something like 2,000,000rpm

Would have to have one in the garage if my numbers come up

$150,000 isn't it?

As it turns out I had a vid on my PC, so I've uploaded it: http://media.putfile.com/uponone_jet_bike

Wonder what the MPG is and the tank range?

I'd think its more a case of GALLONS PER MILE

new

been out for atleast 2-3 years.

they are new in the sense that they've now got to the stage where they are a production motorcycle anyone (with enough money)can buy.

Also the original bike was quite difficult to ride now it is as easy if not easier than a standard bike. Just push the button to start it, wait for it to warm up then push a button to engage first gear. It only has 2 gears and is capable of over 250mph.

From what i remember it does 8mpg and is still pretty unreliable. Also it overheats really quickly around town where the clutch also struggles to cope

Might be legal on the roads in the USA but i thought they were illegal over here due to the fact that they tend to fry anything within a 25yard radius
Need to be a bit nuts to have one so i guess that's why Tyson bought one

Sorry but I think that looks ugly!
