Put that motor in a cruiser chassis and I'm IN !!!

They are using water/methanol in the system to prevent catastrophic detonation (figure about 300 octane for a sloooow fuel burn). The only place all that power can be used is on a long airport runway where the power to overcome wind resistance can get it to top speed. Twist the grip coming out of a corner too hard and the rear end steps out as the tire spins up (see video). The bike might set a new six up power wheelie record with a passenger on the front fairing, but that's about all it's good for.

To be fair, it's just a rolling advert for the company that built it and the engineering work they do. It was never intended, I'm sure, to be any serious kind of race bike, whether hill-climb or drag racing.
