About my GSXR

This is a Suzuki GSXR Slingshot frame with a small military jet starter engine. The turbine engine puts out 300 foot pounds of torque. The bike is wheel driven , not jet driven, it has two rear calipers to help stop the torque of the turbine, and the after burner provides a flame show for on lookers. The chasis was modified to accomodate the weight of the motor, the swing arm was extened to give more room for oil pumps, and after burner pumps. It also has two batteries, a car battery and a motorcycle battery.

Like I wrote in my bio, it is a jet starter engine. It is not a apu. Therefore the flames are for looks. That is why the kerosene is not burning black. You were right. Check out the articles in the following magazines for more details.....June issue of Street Fighter, March issue 2Wheel Tuner, and April issue Bomber Magazine.
Thanks for the interest!!---Jet

I do not observe, from the photographs, a turbine engine's exhaust.  I see a flame-thrower.  If you did perform a bona fide install of an APU, one should only see heat waves exiting the exhaust, rather than yellow flame.  Diesel/kerosene burns much more dirty=>black smoke.  If you truthfully have an APU in there, congrats!  It simply does not add up for me.--darth
