I always try to watch Jay Leno's shows. But I almost enjoy his bike more. Just check it out! Jet powered.. and gawd-d*mn!

During Easter He put a chocolate bunny rabbit by the exaust and melted it. hehe Did You see that one ?

 

[Swedie]

Nah man ! did he show it on TV? damn! i missed that one.
Anyone got that on tape and wanna upload it?
I wanna see that bike rolling live or on TV. I just wanna see "its performance".

 

[ChampionR1]

Ya He showed it on tv. It was awesome :rock Took like 20 sec to melt the bunny !!

There was a write up on that bike in "motorcyclist" magazine about a year ago. Its called the "y2k"
-over 300hp :thumbup
-450 ft-lb of torque
-460 lbs dry weight
-5 mpg

9 second 1/4 mile :finger

The cost? a mere $100,000 :crash

Imagine an R1 with $140,000 in modifications?

One question, without wheelie bars how the hell are you going to keep that thing from flipping back !! I mean honestly with out wheelie bars you would never realize the power on tap

I read smoewhere that he was at a red light and while he was waiting he looked over at the plastic bumper of a car and it was melting

Here is another article on it

Here is a quote: "When we took it out for a run, the tires started smoking at 175 mph..."

Oh crap

Two speed transmission! 200 mph in 15 sec doesn't even give you time to fill your pants.

I wonder what Jay Leno's insurance company thinks when he's out on that thing.

 

[Swedie]

Oh!! I so badly wanna see a video of this bike!!!

 

[markeddy]

What a poser! They guy probably doesn't even know how to take a corner.

Who care's about just going in a straight line. That bike is way overkill!

:no

 

[trebs]

Sometimes overkill is still cool.

It's not much heavier than a Hyabusa is it?

 

[Eyespy]

Yeah, I saw him a few weeks ago, he took the jet bike out to the Rock Store. It's pretty pointless, actually, but he can, so he does.

 

[FRQ FLYR]

make no mistake--leno can ride. he is not a poseur!

the bike does not have mirrors--just a lcd dash that displays what the camera positioned at the rear picks up.... oh yea, when he starts the bike the dash says "hello jay"
