That's one cool little hot rod and it looks like it is chain driven to boot!

I think that this Y2K is the bike that Jay Leno was talking about on a TV show. He said he was on one, stopped at a light and a little Toyota Camry came up right on his tail. Jay thought the driver needed a lesson for being so close to the Y2K so he brought the rpms on the turbine up and melted the paint on the Toyota's hood.

Guaranteed that Jay bought a new Toyota for the driver 'cause that is the type of guy he is by all accounts. He certainly could afford it.

Ohhhhh, big boys and their expensive toys. :)

It looks a wee bit long to handle very well in the twisties, but it would probably make quick work of getting through Nebraska and Wyoming! :laugh:

I think that guy said $185K!

OK boys, it's time to flop em out here on the table. Measure up!

I watched that bike smoke a jet fighter. Any bets on how many runs you get to a chain and sprocket set?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should! There aren't enough Jay Lenos out there to keep this guy in business.
