Powered by a 320 hp Rolls Royce-Allison 250 Series Gas Turbine with 286 hp at the rear wheel and a top speed well over 200 mph, itÔÇÖs not something youÔÇÖll want on your average weekend ride but it would be a hoot to crank one of these up at least once.

Hey Rob,

Would this be allowed in Iron Butt competitions? :deal
