Default Turbine powered superbike
Yup! A motorcycle powered by a turbine engine.

Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison 250 series turboshaft engine, producing 238kW (320hp), this motorcycle has a recorded top speed of 227 mph (365 km/h), with a price tag of US$150,000 (US$185,000 in 2004). It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most powerful production motorcycle" and the "Most expensive production motorcycle".

That video of the bike starting sounds outstanding. It is like a jet engine firing up.
