Ohhh, I don't know.  The British seem to be going a bit off the rocker as well.  Street legal!

Then there is the American version of the same thing.

It makes you wonder how they even attempt to get that power to the ground.

The V-10 bikes have 500HP and 525ft/lbs of torque.  I would say launching them is an exercise in extreme throttle/clutch control.

LUV it.  I wonder if I buy a tank of gas if they'll let me take a ride in it to the corner store... and also if they'll drive me back home if I buy another one.

Perhaps the only think as cool as a V12 Merlin powered 55 Chevy is Jay Leno's "Tank Car" - gorgeous hand-built hotrod powered by a V12 M47 Patton tank engine.
