Ride this motorcycle?

$0. But some money wouldn't hurt.

One whole dollar.

You guys are crazy, there ain't enough money in this world for me to get on that thing. He's been 5.70 to the 1/4 mile before and it is the quickest motorcycle in the world.

nothing aslong as they paid for the funeral that would follow as knowing my luck id wipe out richard hammond style

I don't think it's a matter of how much someone would pay me... but a matter of how much I'd pay someone else.

It's like bungee jumping.

That looks pretty fun and intimidating, so I would definitely do it for free.

How much do you think I could get? If someone's gonna pay me to do it, I might as well take them for as much as I can

Wait, some pays me?

Where do I sign?!

Considering my lack of experience with bikes and the risks I'd maybe ride it down a straight course for 500$

An eternity of servitude.

enough to finance a 1500 hp electric mini Cooper?

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be fast? The video didn't make it look too fast. I was thinking "Hey, maybe it's the fastest accelerating motorcycle in the world or something." Nope. Just looks like it has a big back wheel. I probably wouldn't ride it.

O_o

Watch the video again. 1/4 mile in 6 seconds. That bike was going around 325 miles an hour.

Ah. Didn't really seem like it. The only evidence of its speed is the counter that the camera pans toward at the end.

I suppose when you grow up seeing movies of race cars zipping past blurred city lights with a close up of the driver's face and the wind in his hair, things like that don't seem to be as fast. I guess it's something you would have to see in person.
