what the hell for?....kinda like Leno's jet bike...where ya going to ride it?

 

I think it's only a singel turbo and no nitrous, but I'm not sure.

 

It looks like that is Sam Wheeler or Mike Akatiff's Ack Attack Streamliner at Bonneville. Notice the chain and sprocket for steering just below the windscreen. Ack Attack is a twin Busa engined, highly modified streamliner that displaces 2.6 liters. I am sure it has all of 700 horse. Wheeler's is a single engined streamliner that actually beat Bub's liner for a single pass when Dennis Manning / Chris Carr set the record. His front tire blew after his down run and was not able to make a return run so his time did not count. That was the last tire of that size in existence for his design. Ack Attack just set the motocycle land speed record with 360.913mph. That is faster than a plane

 

A little history for you California guy's. Mike Akatiff was an apprentice to Tom Sifton, I know you old timers know who he is. He also was a builder and tuner for Jim Rice (Factory BSA Rider) in the 60's and 70's in Grand National Flattrack. Mike had a successful tool and die manufacturing company and founded ACK Technologies that specializes in avionics. He sold the tool and die company to Chris Carter who founded Motion Pro which specializes in replacement cables for motorcycles. When Chris purchased Mike's company years ago, Motion Pro Tools was started. They make high quality and trick tools that are used in the motorcycle industry. All in California. Like anyone cares, but I dig that stuff.

 

Water Cooled cylinders on the 139" ORCA Bullett. the new 500hp intercooler that we fabbed up for the Bullet. Mike did the rubber isolated frame mounts for the cooler. The turbo discharge enters the left and exits on the right where it heads for the inlet plenum.

Special double ball bearing turbochargers are used on the 139" ORCAS and are rated in excess of 500hp.
New details on Mike Geokan's 2003/2004 132" Turbo ORCA "Bullett". See what it takes to build a 250 mph bike. Mike is retiring his Bonneville record holding #226, in his progress with his new Bonneville Bullett project.

 

formula one race cars had 1.5 liter turbo engines making 1000hp back in the day but they were very expensive,very high tech,very high reving and had a lot of boost using very high octane.

 

Carpetride, actually I think it was Peugot or Renault...Renaut, I'm pretty sure. And it was 1250 in race trim and 1300 in qualifying out of 1.5 litres! And these young whippersnapper NOPI guys think they're the sh(*%t!!!!
Ok, back to bikes! Sorry!

 

And constructed of materials you can only get from NASA

 

I saw a show on utv..and I do know that bike did under 8 sec's in the quarter mile and it was factory stock
