10. MTT Turbine Super-bike
This super bike is super sleek with its futuristic armor-plate-like
body. Like all things from the future, this bike is equipped with an
arsenal of high-tech devices including a laser scrambler and
rear-mounted camera. The unbelievable part about the MTT Turbine is that
it actually runs on a turbine engine unlike those found in jet planes.
If this thing had wings, it would definitely take off.

crotch-rocket.

maximum velocity. With beautiful curves and a price tag that isn’t
reserved for the rich and famous, the Hayabusa is like a fine lady who
isn’t just after your wallet.

chunky metallic chassis–one that is derived from that of the famous
Dodge Viper. While not as sleek and sexy as many of its competitors, the

with its unrivaled speed and power. This is definitely one of the
baddest boys on the block.
