Built around Marine Turbine Technologies's sport motorcycle platform, the 2012 Marine Turbine Technologies Superbike features a purpose-built gas turbine configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 320 HP (233.6 kW) at 6,000 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 and chain final drive.
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).
Within MotoLibrary's Marine Turbine Technologies archive, this model family spans 7 indexed model years from 2006 to 2019, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
