The MTT Y2K is the words first, and only turbine powered
superbike.
The Y2K is powered by a Rolls Royce Allison Turbine
engine, a powerplant usually found in helicopters due
to its light weight and profound ability to produce
horsepower.
Unfortunatley, although the Y2K is a spectacular and
competent feat of engineering its styling is another
matter. The dead-fish-eye headlights are unattractive
to say the least, and the bodywork is plain and uninteresting.
However the fact the exhaust temperature is 650 degrees
C, and it sounds like an aircraft on take off helps
make up for the lack luster exterior design.
