Acabion GTBO 55 - Fastest Motorcycle Up to "280mph" like Airplane




Can you imagine driving from Atlanta, Ga. to New York City in just over two and a half hours? No police cops can even catch you up in highway.

You're probably thinking you can't even fly between the two cities in under three hours. With all the airport tr­ansfers and walking through baggage claim and dealing with security, you'd be lucky to make it in five hours.


This super German motorcycle is capable of holding 2 persons andt’s powered by a 700 hp turbocharged engine which given the weight of the bike results in a power to weight ratio of 0.51kg per horsepower. Acabion claims this thing is actually street legal.

This Acabion GTBO ‘70′ model can go from 0 to 258 mph in about 19 seconds. And it has a top speed of 265 mph at 200 hp with a governor.

The company only plans to build a total of 26 vehicles from 2007-2011. It costs US$720,000. Who will buy a motorcycle that can not be used on the street? at that price.

Even at 600 km/h the Acabion is still efficient, just that there is nothing comparable around on todays roads. An electric power system of 3 KW is used for short-range and slow operation like parking, private terrain, etc.
