ya this is real for sure. ive seen 1 at a auto show. they are called y2k's as stated above, ty whoever mentioned the name. if u've seen that gay biker movie torque u see one at the end if i remember correctly. the motor is actually a rolls royce mini copter engine of all things. runs on pump gas of course, so it has been slightly adapted to street use. i have no info on price so no idea if hes correct abotu the 150gs price tag. but i do know the top speed has never been reached since realisticly a top speed might be unobtainable. if u understand a jet engine the faster u go the faster air enters the engine which inturn makes the engine pump faster. it jsut keeps multiplying its speed by using forced induction kinda like a turbo but its perpetual so the limit o which the motor can take could be astronomical. do a google search on y2k bike
