The mpg claims are what I like 100 mph at 100 mpg and 250 mph at 25 mpg.

And its supposed to do 340mph restricted.

I want one.

Read the specs here

I wouldn't have one , infact the European version of this the link I forget is probably better (as its stabilising legs retract) , but I'd have the fairing off it with a few careful mods for radiator and brakes I bet me CBR hell even me NTV would hit 200mph.

As said above a certain speed its not the engine power that is the limiting factor but wind resistance.

hence why you can get pedal bicycles going 150mph+

EDIT

looks closer ,

its just a motorbike with a fancy fairing and two dolly wheels , with the clip ons welded onto a hub centre steered front wheel,

i quite like that acabion except for the price.

Unfortunately, I dont think a cheaper mass market version would catch on so wouldnt be viable.

Now that really does look fun, I saw one of the presenters on something like the Gadget Show testing one.
