What may eventually become the world's fastest vehicle on two wheels has been tested on the sandy beaches of Wales.
The Jet Reaction vehicle is powered by a turbojet engine and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 450mph (645km/h).
While those speeds were not reached during the test at the weekend, the team are now preparing to make an attempt to break the world record later this year in Utah.
Look theres me...just to the right of the bike. This pic is of the second run on Sunday. I had a nice chat with Richard Brown the driver and he explianed the main problem they have is wind problems causing them to cancel several expensive testing sessions. They run with 3 wheels so at least they can test the propulsion system.
The helicopter engine sounded amazing and the blast from the afterburner was seriously impressive. The test this weekend was to test the afterburner.
Richard told me he had no intention of exceeding 200mph on the beach. For the record attempt in September the bike will run with 2 wheels, Richard told me the "third" wheel will be a spare.
Here is a newspaper piece and vid
