At the heart of the 2007 Marine Turbine Technologies MTT Superbike sport motorcycle, Marine Turbine Technologies features a purpose-built gas turbine configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 320 HP (233.6 kW) at 52,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 576.3 Nm (425.1 lb-ft) at 2,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the MTT Superbike measures 226.8 kg (500 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.41 HP/kg (0.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,727 mm (68 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 34-liter (9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 402 km/h (250 mph).
