Wild claims for 750hp turbo bike
Swiss claims suggest heavy drug useSwiss firm Acabion has come out with some pretty wild claims for this missile-shaped creation, called the GTBO.
Based in Lucerne, the company says it is running a turbocharged Hayabusa engine, with a 750hp output, and that the machine has reached a speed-limited 340mph - or 550km/h!
Something we did notice is that it seems to running a front end off Yamaha's long-gone GTS1000.
We can't help being a little sceptical on this one, but it makes for a nice story.
Apparently you're welcome to order your very own GTBO, but the price might give you pause for thought - a staggering 1.83 million Euro, or around Au$3 million.
The maker says the body shape makes the machine particularly fuel efficient and claims these stats:
- 100 mph at 1.7% throttle and 100 miles per gallon;
- 150 mph at 4.3% throttle and 62 miles per gallon;
- 250 mph at 17% throttle and 25 miles per gallon.
