This thing would be far more in its realm at Ohio's Transportation Research Center and its 7.5 mile high speed oval.
One thing, everyone keeps referring to this as the "250mph Y2K". We know it's fast, but does this figure refer to an actual test by a reputable entity (which always entails 2 directions within a certain time) or an assumption based upon speculative potential? Surely it's the latter, not many media sources have testers willing to hang on in a 250 mph windstream.

@andoulli In monaco too please.

This machine will dominate the highway, but gonna get ez'd on a race course
-
omg that was so fast!!!!!!

it can't really turn that sharp in high speed, because it very long bike! think about a centre of gravity, long bike makes become very stable ( stay smooth over 250MPH) and less turn, short bike become not stable ( high speed create bike jerking side to side) and turns like wild in high speed
-
that bike cant turn.....
-
wonder if he will come back to Ohio?
I missed him. :(
But look forward to going in JULY!

lol tomahawk's can't turn. Thought it was the coolest bike when I first heard about it until recently when i learned that the thing can't turn.
This bike is a curiosity more than anything else. Kind of in the same catagory as that V12 Viper engined motorcycle, except not nearly as cool looking.

My guess is that it is fairly sluggish around corners. How about a 10 lap race between a
Y2K, Boss Hog, and a Tomahawk? ;>)
