3800hp Motorcycle

Holy SHIT!!! Look at this!! I was laughing like crazy when I saw the pictures of the jet powered motorcycle. I dunno but it's just funny when you see the picture... The motorcycle is totally insane!!! What did the Aussies done to the bike!!! How can someone ride it!?!?

Anyway, here are some details which I grab from WorldCarFans and Jalopnik which is the original source of the story.

Powered by a Rolls Royce Viper Turbojet aircraft Jet Engine, the motorcycle really can fly with its 3800hp. I really don't know how they ride it and how fast will it go. It might fly to the moon I guess.
