Greatest Ever Motorcycles: # 4 - Y2K (o.k.)

[tgseason12]

There's no friction zone LOL, also, it's really just a toy, not much of a motorcycle.

[SharQus]

whats the 0-60 time?

[Saul0052]

I'd shit my self trying 2 race this thing

[kane72107210]

2:13不是給膽小鬼騎的 lOl

[oroles1]

clear for take off!

[stayjit1]

What ever happened to that craaaazy bike in the 70's with the wankel engine ?

[mendex187]

Imagine taking it to the race track and seeing the look of your opponent when you start it up 'O_O'

[ICEWOLF7600]

Hmm, I'd like a fast bike, but not one that will start to fly if I hit a small bump.

[bigguydave]

"The y2k just isn't a complete bike" says the guy sitting in front pink vespas

[MrParker300]

@bigguydave Hahahahaha totally agree with you. He is a twat

[94TIES]

Cool! Thats all I can say!

[505197]

Placing this piece of shit ahead of Britten's is a travesty. Claiming it makes a sound signature unlike anything else on wheels is a lie, is he not aware of the turbine cars Chrysler had on the roads back in the 50s and 60s? And there is no way that fucking plane is going 170 mph, that goddamn turbine bike has a hole shot like a sponge, see any wheelies? total bogus bullshit.

[pimper37]

lol

[yamahonkawazuki]

i had found one of these for sale in teh scottsdale az area in i believe it was 02? didnt have 160k for it but still was awesome to see it in person

[NorthWriter]

Atomic batteries to power...turbines to speed.

[exloverslover45]

Try learning your friction zone on that!

[lunatiy]

dear santa!

[MetrakitProRaceII]

The Turbine sound make feeling high :'D

[wazfrmoz]

oh man its all over the keyboard

[RandomPick12]

smh

[braceyoself777]

....this is uh.............lol



[vincenity14]

WOW...

dad i want this for my birhtday... hahaha

[DEADPATRIOTSMSC]

NOW THATS WHAT THE F*_K I'M TALKIN ABOUT, HELL YEAH NOW THATS A BIKE !

[madden163]

how muc dose it cost?

[CrispyGFX]

Leeeennnnooooooooo!!!

[Mauser2012]

Hello,

I was trying to fix up an old mustang, but I now see that will cost too much. However I still need transportaion to school. I need a cheap affordable motorcycle. Id love a Ural motorcycle without the side car but those are 8grand. Any suggestion?

John Mauser

[ectoplasma2]

@Mauser2012

go for a cb 750 or a bonne like this show tells you if you like classics like the ural

otherwise, any japanese racer or naked bike older then 10 years will be extremely cheap in both purchase and maintenance

[mezcal1111]

@Mauser2012 Yamaha SR400 or 500, easy to maintain, dead reliable, great sound...

[mezcal1111]

Try Yamaha SR 400 or 500, dead reliable, easy to maintain, great sound, limitless fun

[wickedsmart]

The Y2K is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

[salman06p0020]

Leno driving without any riding gear, setting a bad example old dude.

[salman06p0020]

Women would like to feel this bike between their legs.

[rapid287]

How much fuel does it consume?

[dependantlividity]

@rapid287 All of it.

[trevisfat]

knee-son lol

[Aeiouley]

The idea of a jet engine between your legs is a little impractical but would be fun to try. Cool bike but Leno ruined this video for me.

[constantino123]

nice sound

[ShatteredChi]

I wouldn't disagree that this particular bike should be on the list - it's a wild idea - but number 4? No. Not even almost. If it's on the list, drop it down to number 10 and bring everything else up. For instance, It's fast, expensive, and handles badly while the Brough was fast, expensive, and handled well. Why is it higher?

[rockypyro1490]

i'm assuming that bike doesn't have a clutch? lol

[vikramthecooper]

awsome

[atvman101]

ok, the bike would never beat the jet, but i still think this bike is really awesome

[brownie4life0421]

I love how the guy who said, "the Y-2k doesn't do it for me at all at 5:29, and he had scooters in the back...

[jt1403]

Hey Max Oakley! Don't hate.....haha, with the scooters in the background. Grow a set and take one for a test ride.

[nohj1000000]

. they should just make it 3 wheels and just shoo tthe thrust out the back instead of loosing power converting it.. also then u can set crap on fire for teh lulz

[shitpickle1128]

the guy can go wax his dumb bald head and go ride his stupid little scooter the y2k is for real men

[vernymax]

Jay Leno you lucky fucker

[BoSAnDZeRo007]

This bike is like my fuckin pony !!! KICK ASS :P

[alienlivingform]

And this is road leagle?!

[whiteynator]

lol gotto love the right screen at 1:09 that says "Hello Jay!!!! :)" :D

[TheBezbox]

Why is this bike on the list!!??

[ballsonmyeyes]

@TheBezbox 'cuz your mom asked for it

[Nimbly]

500lbs? Why could that bike not corner or stop?

[milvio42]

@Nimbly got no engine brake.

[Qball6274]

Even Jay Leno said himself that it's really a stupid motorcycle. (if you can even call it a motorcycle). Everyone agrees that it's absurd and irrelevant. So why is this bike on the list!!??

[tasman763]

Agree . This is NOT a motorcycle, its a pile of dung . Get a life Jay ! ( or learn to ride , as opposed to what you are doing now )

[plonker00765]

what a pile of crap,it's not a motorcycle,it's just a dumb idea by a stupid prick with too much money and time on his hands.

[karansena]

jay lemo hasa f1 maclaren too

[hoplite46]

@loconick55555 you would not hear it till it passed  you

[sweetdick314]

DID I JUST SEE A SMILEY FACE ON THE DISPLAY AT START UP!!!!????

[rsoreo]

damn im scared the bike will blow up.

get off the bike jay. we love you!

[hoplite46]

Blackbird Honda is faster

[Itoby2]

@hoplite46

no...

[hoplite46]

@Itoby2 really?

[nickster1318]

@hoplite46 no its not

[novapilot1965]

Matt Oxley really is a miserable cock!

[hoplite46]

@novapilot1965 agreed

[hockeyislife877]

stay away from my car

[johnnnycassh]

That Swedish Ghostrider, his turbo-charged Hayabusa is just shy of 500bhp. These guys should interview him too

[theothercanadian]

its not a jet fighter, it was a jet trainer, and it was flying at just above stall speed to make the bike look good

[johnnnycassh]

@theothercanadian Who cares. Whatever it is, that bike is fast!

[theothercanadian]

@johnnnycassh yeah the bike is fast, but being the aviation lover i am, if that plane was flying any slower it would have fallen out of the sky lol

standard takeoff speed for most jet aircrafts is 150-200 miles per hour

[doodskie999]

riding this bike is like playing with death...

[8D9B5L]

the plane was only going 150. Of course the Bike can beat it when its top speed is above 200. If the plane came out of the bank and punched it, it would have annihilated the bike from the get go.

[raywebb21190]

@8D9B5L The jet entered the race at 150, where as the motorcycle started at zero and had to accelerate

[kaiuweoch]

I guess you will get tears in your eyes once you get the bill for the first service. Guess it will not just consist of a simple oil and filter change...!

[rainerfilm]

That plane was Not going very fast.

[MrMotorcycle1]

these are awesome bikes

[UKScootz]

You dont drive a motorcycle

[daedalx]

At this price I would just buy a helicopter.

[mrcross16]

O K you bunch off fags y wi;; ride that bike to work all the days off my life if i get the chance

[Yamieguy64]

Interesting, but a pricey boutique bike totally irrelavent to motorcycling history.

[torkymf]

ههههه

[tosgem]

interesting bike, but no way does it belong on this list of the ten greatest bikes ever.

[ilovetogame]

sounds fucking awesome. youd just go to your mates house and fire up the holy shit.

[1337soldiahs]

@ilovetogame When you turn it on, the sound alone can destroy a small village, but when you "take off" the noise is a bit ridicolous... just take a listen at 1:16...

"fheeweeeeeep"

[19slipstream84]

that douchebag scooter guy who bags it,,i bet he wouldnt turn down a testride!!

[kawa7900]

But as special bikes go the y2k is the daddy  but at a $180,000 its out of my range lol.

[Symbrio]

you can get one even cheaper, I think roughly over 100k €.

[kawa7900]

actualy the new zx14 is the quickest production bike , Not only is it quicker but it doest even come second as the new aprilia v4 hammers it too and the zx12 all be it the busaa will pull away slightly but the 12 will pass it look up fast bikes on here

[kawa7900]

the busass cant even beat the zx12 , let a lone a rolls royce jet engine powerd bike . As for normal aspirated bikes the zx14 is the quickest so far .

[WellingtonSS85]

Suzuki's GSX - R 1300 Hayabusa is the fastest...ZX 14R comes a little behind...

[Trainsk8]

wouldnt a Hayabusa beat that? or mabye after a little modification

[miniimoto95]

idk

i know you can build a zx14 to at least 425hp with the stage 2 muzzy turbo (t3/t4)

[miniimoto95]

and the zx10 to 500hp with the stage 3 kit

check out there site muzzys . com

[nosajnil2]

i don't get how the race make sense? is it fair?

why not both from standing start?

does the plane allow to accelerate in the video??

[WellingtonSS85]

Buddy, if both of them start together, the plane stands no chance against the Y2K, cause of it's weight and inertia...the only way to beat the Y2K in this 1-Mile race is to have the plane already in motion...

[bass1134]

eh anybody can go fast except this bike goes real fast... R6ftw!!! = D straight aways make me fall asleep and crash.

[evaant14]

0:58 cant do it

[dbhbabyd]

its automatic and i think it gets there quicker but its too big its not like a good corner turning bike though

[tubbiedubbie]

Op het eind gaat ie niet op zn bek. Da's dan weer jammer...

[Parent33w]

If you got it; spend it I guess. I think I'd rather ride a Harley or Busa to my plane as well. But hell, Jay probably has lots of those too.

[vt250guy]

fuck up u gay cunts a hyabusa is a fucking piece of asian shit

[TheStormix]

One thing's for sure, it's the ugliest motorcycle in the world

[epeli50]

watch?v=5iNJMlFnZTo

[epeli50]

What is the reason of buying this when you can get a hayabusa with same stats and pay 170.000 less?

[2otalH4VOC]

same stats?! find me a hayabusa which can do 250mph!

[epeli50]

watch?v=oqJbWiCxUc0

[urbanslem]

To get a Y2K? Why have a Busa when you can buy one of the most incredible bikes in the world? :o

[jeryl1968]

awesome bike awesome video but im not buying it that the bike beat the jet i meen that jet doesnt even think about going 600 mph and thats just the jets warmup speed i think that jet was defently playing with that bike and could eat it for lunch ? fighter jet against jet bike ? air speed is always faster so i dont buy that one sorry guys lol lol

[onstarvue]

Why the fuck don't you learn how to spell?

[bigben400]

turbins go on pakki's heads, this is a turbine

[brankog7]

actually, they go on Sikh's heads dumb cunt

[alvinfoster]

ducati 1198 dnt knw can win y2k or not

[JamesStrangeStuart]

that is awsome!

[MelBeano]

too bad we can not get Jay to go 250 mph and let whatbrains he has slide out of his skull and crash the bike and die doing it. now that would be an awesome show and he would get killer ratings

[sjcallaway]

My wife had a 250 when she was a kid and now even she will say her ZX14 is soooo much better, now i dont want to take you back to grade school but running the 1/4 ni. is the most popular race, and guess what its going really fast (thats more than a top speed of 105mph) in a STRAIT LINE !!!

[Imba1444]

well this is a..really stupid motorcycle XD

[sjcallaway]

its the fastest bike in the world. what else do you need?

[JonnyTommyGuns]

that pointless to go fast in a straight line on a motorcycle. a little 250cc will smoke that thing in the twisties where it counts...

[sjcallaway]

jonny must have a 250 pit bike that would be kinda cool

[JonnyTommyGuns]

I wish I did lol those things are sweet. My buddies girlfriend has one and she rips the twisties lol.

[glassineheart]

this is a fagottron bike

[HunterXray]

"But the Y2K makes a sound signature ah... unlike anything else on wheels."

I guess he wasn't aware of the Abrams battle tank. :)

[MozTS]

abrams has tracks, not wheels

[HunterXray]

And on those tracks it has wheels. :)

[a12356ut]

i cant ride it im my country, coz the roads in my country aint good enough for this monster, they probably crack,lol

[BlackLabel7345]

"the y2k dosnt do it for me at all"

do i see a bunch of scooters in the backround? this dude is a pussy, just a dick with no balls.

[marshallspikebanana]

Now THAT'S a crotch rocket!!!!

[boredclub]

ok that is NEAT!

[smashmonkeyEXTREME]

of course the bike won the jet is slowing down

[SpraymoreXZ]

uhm, the bike and plane were going at the same speed at the start, and it wasnt about speed, but about acceleration. So the bike accelerates better than the plane.. or smth.

[vienkyhotty]

OMG Dr. Evil!!! 5:31

[delsolvti]

if you don't know what to do with your money give it away...

[FindlaySucks]

Technically it is not a "motorcycle".

It's a jetcycle.

[MrSanQuentin703]

@FindlaySucks motor=engine cycle=bike still a motorcycle its a jet engine you fail along with 18 other idiots

[1337soldiahs]

@MrSanQuentin703

I'm pretty sure it was a joke. And good job replying to a 1-year-old comment, while also sounding like an asshole.

[MrSanQuentin703]

@1337soldiahs im sorry did i rattle my zipper? i didnt so why is your mouth open?

[1337soldiahs]

@MrSanQuentin703

That's another very mature reply. Are you 12 or something?

[usafdragongirl]

He melts the front of cars..... LOL

[titidaniel212]

@usafdragongirl ;) 1200° ( i think  °F ) is a lot

[azpatm01]

WOW,I'm amazed !!! i never knew such a bike exsisted. I'm uterly speachless. A motercycle that can beat a jet. Far out !!!

[loo85]

Kind of agree of what they say, whats the point of going fast if its on on straight line only? Even the VMAX turns on corner...

[FluffyH1tman]

Because when it can get up above 200mph in 14 seconds, it can slow down almost to a stop for a turn and still be ahead of just about any other bike when it is out of the corner. I would just want to be very sure I have the best brakes I can find on it, as it would be very bad for them to give out while going 150 and heading for a wall.

Besides, I haven't seen anyone take it around a track. Why wouldn't you be able to take it around a corner? It isn't like it's one of those v8-powered trikes.

[alexzaverda]

because we can..

[Tritaga]

1:05

I was like uhhh.... thats not a bike XD

[redvision350]

Who cares if it can't corner at 150mph...it's a badass bike and concept.

[ghostb72]

Hey ITs the Torque BIKE. LOL you know like the movie. Yeah let see it do some corners at that speed then talk to us. lol

[CaptainNomura]

Cool Jay. I designed a jet powered motorcycle with a single axial compressor shaft and two afterburners when I was a jet engine mechanic at Edwards AFB in 1979. I sent a modified version design to Suzuki contest and won a bike and offered me a job. Cycle Guide 8/80 issue did a nice article about my design. I have nearly 50 bikes now but none are jet powered. I'm no Jay Leno. Money talks!

[HappymanFIN]

i dont like voice, it isnt motorcycle voice =(

[jamiebridges123]

to be fair leno has more money than most bikes he could sure as heck afford a pair of gloves or some decent gear.. :/

[58781icky]

CAN YOU FEEL THE POWER BETWEEN YOU'R LEGS??

LOL I whant one

[jakejekyl417]

wow that is very intense.i love this thing!

[tirimut]

That by should not be road legal,it's dangerous.And it wil be a lot cheaper to get a Kawasaki ZZ-R1400 and put a turo charger on it.

[SpeedingStudent]

And after buying that ZX14 and putting a turbo n it, you can buy a house and garage to put it in for the same price as one Y2K bike.

If it can't go around corners, it is kind of pointless. Just a technology demonstrator in the form of a drag bike.

I'll take the ZX14, please.

[darrellw82]

agread 185,000 is just way to much money for a freaking bike. i dont care what its made of.

[madbiker53]

either the ZZ-R1400 or a hiyabusa both big bikes but would go just aswell

[45Mang]

jay leno wants to copy ace ventura's hairstyle!

[bobmillerbob]

That was kinda a stupid race. A helicopter engine in a motorcycle on land against a jet in the air that has a far higher top speed in real life. Pointless race. :(

[313foxbody420]

whoever first test rode that has more balls then a fuckin bowling ally. must be a brain orgasm driving one

[Nimbly]

In real life the jet has a top speed of almost 500 mile per hour. If it were going all out the stupid bike would have lost. While we are being stupid lets race a go kart and a Saturn 5 rocket.....

[jalt1911]

Well, that's what one get's for getting so close to a bike.

[GodfatherofSoul2004]

Leno sounds like a complete jerk to be riding a bike that can melt another vehicle's bumper on a public road. I'd be PISSED if that happened to my car.

[fahoza]

omg let me in that thing for 5 min :]

[Nimbly]

Thing makes about as much sense as a door nob on a tent.

[baxxtor777]

"and this guy on infiniti"... once more... never be shortsighted :)

[brizzols07]

thats not a motorcycle its jetcycle

[THETURBOHEAD]

I'd lay waste to that bike

lol

though i did only go 247 mph on my pos busa

560 hp 540#

[Ryosaeba24]

Buy a serious bike a Ducati man not that shitty drag bike good only on straight

[armydipr]

id trade em my wife for one

[guitarprince08]

this is sooooo cool!! hehehe.... love that sound baby,,,, i'm really a fan of great sounding, power packed bikes... not just bikes that make noise without power....

[harleyfatbob08]

Love the sound! This is the coolest bike ever! I would love to own one. What am I saying......I would be happy just to test drive this awesome machine! I would really like to see Jay Leno's bike collection also.

[kopynd]

love to own the bike

[bostonguy01]

man i would be scared even turn it on i mean got 200 sumthin ponys under ya damn legs u make one wrong move and thats it your done thats scarey i think but it looks like fun but eh not for me lol

[tofastpy]

yea a good bike if u wanna go fast in a straight line but as it has no power going 2 the back wheel u wont be able 2 pin it afound corners and 1 of the best things about bikes wheelies!!!! cant do them on a jet bike

[maleficent53]

Of course there's power to the back wheel. Watch the video again, it's chain driven. The turbine is a jet engine, but it powers a primary drive just like any other bike. Also, it doesn't seem to have any problem turning, and changing lanes. I've prersonally seen two of these bikes when they were touring the US and they didn't seem to have any issue on the road. Sounded like fighter jets passing us on the hwy, it was intense.

[tofastpy]

yea true i just ad another look!!!!i think more of the thing now but still if i ad 1 i would change da fairing

[exilog]

they only built it cos a millionare asked them to and in the video because they could

[GrampaCrusty]

There are two reasons to own a bike:

1) Lean angle

2) Corner speed
