The roar of the engine of a superbike, its eye-catching appearance, is easily confused with the sound of a fighter taking off.
Engineer Tony Pandolfo (Tony Pandolfo), part-time racing driver who is famous on boats all his life engaged in improving heavy-duty boats, motorcycles and cars. And today the 54-year-old resident of Orlando (FL) has applied his knowledge to install a Suzuki Hayabusa starter jet fuel from the fighter F14.
The result was a completely legal jet bike for 60 000 dollars, which sounds like a low-level flight by flying the plane.
Despite the structural features of the starter F14, Tony managed to equip it with afterburner, in which the fuel is ignited, producing tailpipe jet of fire. He admits that he found the device just to keep yourself away from the fans to be attached at the back.
He also assures that steering a motorcycle is no more difficult than the 50 cc scooter, and all that is required of the rider is to turn the steering wheel and press the trigger.
This bike could be the fastest in the world, but Tony sacrificed speed for comfort, making the bike to the rider the most friendly and easy to manage.
Despite this, the assurances of Tony, a motorcycle with the engine develops its maximum torque of 300 lb-ft, a few seconds can reach speeds of 160 km / h
Jet bike also equipped with a forced brake system and runs on kerosene.
Tony says: I just love the jet bikes, which have recently begun to gain popularity among motorcyclists professionals. Their sound aircraft taking off can not be confused with anything, and when you go on this bike, it creates a feeling that you soar above the asphalt.
Anyone who can ride a scooter and easy to make friends with a jet bike, because it has automatic transmission and malleable throttle.
It is almost an exact analogue of the motorcycle Hayabusa, except for the sound emitted by them, taking off from the runway fighter F14.
All my life I preferred only the most powerful and rare car and motorcycle, which of course people are paying attention, but he never reacted so violently as when I drive past them on a jet bike.
Not long ago I took part in the motorcycle show, where I invited razobidelas model in a bikini, because all the views of the public were addressed only to my bike. The first few seconds after I started the engine, all stood open-mouthed in amazement, trying to figure out why a seemingly normal bike hums like a flying missile.
People just lose their heads when they see how I go on your jet bike! I#39;m not a public person and do not like too much attention, but when I#39;m on the bike, then I feel like a true celebrity .
