Another Turbine bike

I guess this runs on oil rather than petrol. Exhausts being mocked up at present I think.

The funny thing about turbine bikes is that philosophically they are the opposite of dieselbikes even though they run on the same fuel.

Turbine bikes are fast, light (for the power) and guzzle fuel.

Dieselbikes are the opposite on those 3 points. They are both noisy though.

I think most create these machines for economy but you gotta admire those guys building for the shear hell of it. The Sprocket with its 2.3 litre Merc engine springs to mind

I hear you Stuart. While I appreciate the fuel economy of a diesel powered motorcycle, I built mine because I need a bit of whimsy now and then...
