I thought the american Y2K was the fastest and most powerful?
Seen it on the telly the other day, production jet bike if you dont know, Jay Leno has one, he went out on it in denim jeans and jacket, $150,000+ sounded awesome, not sure how good a bike it is though.

mmm, interesting post but tbh I'm not liking the look of that bike, front looks like a katana ZX10 cross and the back like a wasp, Harley motor and a swing arm from a crud swamped 916. Shiny though if i was looking for a good point?

(1) Possibly

(2) Doesn't look like a V-Twin to me

(3) Definitely not - the 916 didn't have a 'banana' swing arm - it was around years before they came on the scene !!
