Borrowed from a Pashnit post. (hi Eric)

400 HP
0 to 60 in .97 seconds
158MPH in the 1/4 mile.
619 lbs

The inventor says he leaves the riding to a pro... but then decides to perform a burnout for the cameras.
Without a helmet.
Without gloves.
Without boots.

See the interview and burnout video --> here.

Since he works for the government I wonder if they will go after him for "destruction of governement property"?



edit to add...

HERE's a Youtube posting of the video (less choppy/delyed than the news service site)

w0w.. as fast and as rowdy as that bike is.. it didnt look as bad as i expected.. he took off pretty fast...

[bamaboy]

that is insane

[nassin31spr]

Glad he looks to be alright. That bike is very cool. Ive never heard of those batteries before but I hope it helps to push the envelope towards full battery powered automobiles. Full power at all rpms is the future.

[S13FREEAAK]

One would think that after invented the bike and riding it previously he would've known he didn't have enough room.

But I guess camera's will do that to you.

[kyoru]

holy shat that thing gunned it...not so smart to try to do a burnout with no gear on

[codyace]

Accideent aside, that thing TOOK off....wow acceleration!

[Dirty Habit]

That made my morning. I think everyone knew shit was going to happen when he said he was just a crew chief and never really rode it..hahah.

yeah, they hook up on unprepared sidewalk concrete, think what they do on a well prepped track.

[wootwoot]

Even smart people are total idiots. God bless America

Hmm.. That vid reminds me of something.

Wet concrete...
Burnout... (and later 'powerslide')

Hmmm. What could I *POSSIBLY* be thinking of, Mike?

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

HGAhahahahahahah that was awesome.

[Matej]

That's almost as embarrassing as the Kimberly Stewart motorcycle stunt.

[adrians_s13]

"uh oh.. better get Maaco"

[blu808]

I like the way it sounds. Reminds me of an rc car or something.
