200mph jet cycle could be world's fastest
Imagine sitting on top of two jet engines, catapulting yourself to 200 mph in 7.887 seconds. If this unconfirmed wild ride is for real, that feat would make this jet-powered motorcycle the world's fastest. Sure beats that 155mph superbike we were gawking at last year.
Not much else is known about this alleged world record-breaking stunt, except that the cycle's powered by J402-CA-702 Model 373 turbine engines, originally developed for the U.S. military's cruise missiles, with each engine developing 1,000 pounds of thrust.
We're speechless, except to say that must be one hot seat. Here's a video of the jet cycle blasting off:

That boy better pray one of those jet engines doesn't quit on him or he be spinnin' round and round and smokin' on the tarmac like a break dancer with a death wish.

I read a license plate rim on a pantera a couple years ago that only seems fitting for this bike. "At 200mph, there is no such thing as an atheist"

The above consideration is smart and doesn’t require any supplementary addition. It’s perfect consideration from my side.

Er, dont know whatchalls have been smoking but 200 mph is FAR from the fastest bike in the world. Possibly the quickest, no clue what the record is but there are production bikes out there hitting 220.

This article confuses me, are they saying it's the fastest bike in the world because it does 200mph? Or because it does 200 mph in 7.887 seconds? I know for fact that there are street bikes that do in excess of 200 mph. In fact, a man named Charlie Anstaett had his 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa modified, increasing the engine to 636 WHP, and set a record at "The Maxton Mile" at a record breaking 256.79 MPH.

200 MPH in 7 sec ... pretty ordinary. The Australian Top Bike (drag bikes) record is 6.169 @ 238MPH, (can't find anything one the crazy American Top Fuel bikes quickly)
