Well, there's always Tom Cruise and his friends with the tin foil hats in Hollywood - they appear to believe anything.

Pork Pie, what tires will they use when it goes 350 MPH?

I was incorrect. It's only supposed to go 340 MPH.

I guess traction, drag, and various other factors don't apply to ths bike?

Really Norty , can you stop for once being so negative man , you're bringing us down....If it wasn't for the free thinkers we'd all be stuck in the boring "NOW" and prevented forever  from being part of the promise of "TOMORROW"........Physics is so "YESTERDAY"...get with it brother......you need to believe....

Sorry , but I don't. :roll:


Just to let you know, this streamliner bike was and is driven now for more than the last two years...

I know it.........two years ago I was sitting in the back seat of this bike when Gabriel Uttley from the Speed Record Club done his first test ride close to Berlin....it's a great and comfortable ride.

Since this Gabriel rode this streamliner again and again....

Gabriel is also on landracing.com, may be he can tell you more from his experience.
......does anybody know the John Prine song "Living in the Future?"....

We are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
We're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds.....(cont.)

I'm not a paid up Luddite but from what I can tell , if you're gonna be commuting fast you ain't gonna be on the ground.......the only place they don't like speed limits is Shermany P.P.........










Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

bak189 and John Noonan -- I offer my most humble and aggressive apologies for typing the ward "John" as "Jon", but hey, that's the way I'm used to typing that moniker, and I guess my fingers move faster than my mind controls them -- sometimes.

Whatever, I've fixed the error now, so all who didn't see it before -- will not see it now.

Isn't the modify post function nice?

Yes, it is right that this topic has been discussed before, and does not need repeating ad nauseum. Please just do not make derogatory remarks when you do not even know the guy. The Acabion project is superb, and is a vision of the future. As such it may never reach a "production" stage, but why souldn't the guy try? He is an immensely clever man, and has worked for 15 years on his machine. It is fantastic to ride, the new motor does produce 750bhp, and Dr Maskus's only failing is to tell journalists the theoretical possibilities....you know what jouranlists are like. I have been described as having died in a motorcycle crash racing in the Isle Of Man, instead of "should have" died. I did spend two days on a life support machine, but when I last checked I was still alive. Dr MasKus would rather make one Rolex watch in his lifetime than 10,000 VWs a week. He is passionate about his project, and as JD understands, the world revolves around different characters. I should be doing some further testing this year, and will report here on the results.

One thing I find odd is that they are saying it will make 750 HP from a 1.3.


Those numbers dont add up. I have seen a 1300cc busa motor make 704 with 40+psi but it was not what one would call "reliable".

Even if they were able to make a 1300 make 750 hp it would only be able to make that HP for a split second before the thing nuked.

BTW:
That would be the same HP as a 350 chev making about 3300 hp....and from a "production" ride.
Pure BS.

JH, maybe he really does know how to make 750 hp reliably from 1300 cc, and, if he does, he's probably not interested in sharing his how-to with the rest of the world.  I agree -- it does seem hard to believe, but give him the benefit of the doubt is the way I'll leave it.

Speaking of nothing, are we still on for a visit 21 February?  We arrive the afternoon before then (for the banquet) and look forward to seeing you and all of your dogs (or whatever).

If you allow the press to exaggerate your claims and make a better story, you are guilty of same.
The good work of a lifetime can be instantly trashed with bad press. :roll:

Marketing studies indicate there is 1 born every minute.
That would indicate there is no shortage of willing customers.
The problem is that most of them with enough money are already too smart. :wink:
