No need for so much speed...what do you think?
Ok, this bike is extremely fast and ever more expensive. Is it worth it? Awesome bike but doesn't float my boat. What is your opinion?

I like it when girls use bikes as weapons! no really tho, all that is is bragging rights. Ibet its got a normal 1/4 mile time compared to combustion motors, cuz, correct me if im wrong.... jet engines need a ton of air to make horsepower. right? jet dragsters ive noticed take off really really slow but once they get some speed hooooold on. I wonder if it would whoolie

It's a jet turbine engine that spins the drive sprocket. It doesn't actually move under jet propulsion. Notice the helicopter has to actually spin the blades to fly, not just hover via the engine, they basically took off the helicopter rotor, turned the engine sideways and put a sprocket where the blades mounted. It's a lot more complex then that obviously, but that's the general concept behind it.
