MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
MTT
Y2K turbine superbike is the world's most fastest, expensive and street legal
production motorcycle. The exceptional feature of this bike is that it uses a
helicopter engine to power itself. MTT stands for Marine Turbine
Technologies and is the only company to manufacture this superbike. The entire
bike was hand craftedand it takes about 3k man hours to build one complete
motorcycle. Each year the company produces about 4-5 motorcycles. Each
motorcycle costs about a whooping 185,000 $ (USD) that comes nearly 92 lakh
rupees according to INR.
The MTT Y2K superbike is the world's
first turbine powered street legal motorcycle in its class, and has been
recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever
to Enter Series Production" and the "Most Expensive Production
Motorcycle". The Y2K is powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine
engine, and the superbike has demonstrated over 300 hp and 425 ft/lbs of torque
on the Dyno Jet 200 test, and has been clocked at a record-breaking 230 mph
(371kph).

also represents latest engineering & technology. The entire bike features carbon
fiberfairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display,
forward-and rear-looking radar detector with laser scrambler, one touch
"Smart Start" ignition and more.
Unlike
some earlier jet-powered motorcycles, where a massive jet engine provided
thrust to push the motorcycle, the turboshaft engine on this model drives the
rear wheel via a two-speed automatic transmission gearbox.The engine
weighs just 63 kilograms which is well suited for a motorcycle.

Show up at bike night on one of these and guaranteed, you'll be
the center of attention. This is the same model Y2K turbine powered bike you've
probably seen Jay Leno riding in a video and here's one for sale on eBay.
Powered by a 320 hp Rolls Royce-Allison 250 Series Gas Turbine
with 286 hp at the rear wheel and a top speed well over 200 mph, it's not
something you'll want on your average weekend ride but it would be a hoot to
crank one of these up at least once.
After
its completion, the 420 HP MTT Street Fighter came
into existence and brought more fame to the brand name. Shortage of power was
never a problem to MTT while the designs were showing their age within the
sharp and highly aerodynamic current age motorcycles. The new 420 RR is actually Race Ready and
comes with a design which matches and even shames some of the renowned
performance bikes around the world.
The new age motorcycle comes with a Rolls Royce Allison – 250 – C20 Gas Turbine
producing 420 HP @ 52,000 rpm and 678 Nm of torque at just 2,000 rpm.
It comes mated to a 2-speed automatic gearbox
and weighs just 227 kg. The bike runs on a
mixture of diesel and kerosene. While the top speed is unknown at the moment,
many sourced reveal it to be more than 440 kmph.
The last generation Y2K was once raced with a Bugatti Veyron and the results were simply eye
popping. The car went on to touch 180 kmph in 5.4 seconds while the MTT bike
was at 320 kmph. Imagine if it was with 320 HP, the MTT 420 RR with 100 HP more can simply shatter all
of the records. The rider must have glued himself to the seat
