Marine Turbine Technologies Streetfighter
2012
2012
The Marine Turbine Technologies (MTT) Streetfighter 2012 is a motorcycle unlike anything else on the road. While not directly comparable due to its unique engine, its extreme performance places it in a similar category as hyper-naked bikes such as the Ducati Streetfighter V4 or the Kawasaki Z H2, pushing the boundaries of what a motorcycle can be.
At the heart of the Streetfighter 2012 lies a gas turbine engine, derived from helicopter powerplants. This unconventional engine produces a staggering 320.0 HP (233.6 kW) at 6000 RPM. The torque output is equally impressive, generating 576.3 Nm (58.8 kgf-m or 425.1 ft.lbs) at a relatively low 2000 RPM. This immense power translates into a claimed top speed of 402.0 km/h (249.8 mph). Fuel capacity is a substantial 34.00 litres (8.98 US gallons), necessary to feed the thirsty turbine.
Riding the MTT Streetfighter 2012 is an experience far removed from conventional motorcycles. The turbine engine provides a unique power delivery, unlike any piston engine. The upright stance and relatively low seat height of 800 mm (31.5 inches) offer a degree of comfort, especially considering the extreme nature of the machine. However, the heat generated by the turbine requires careful consideration of riding gear.
The MTT Streetfighter 2012 is not for the faint of heart. It's aimed at a very specific buyer: someone who wants the ultimate conversation piece and is willing to pay a premium for exclusivity and unparalleled power. It's a statement of extreme engineering, and while not necessarily practical for everyday use, it offers a riding experience that few other machines can match.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Unmatched power output from the Rolls-Royce Allison 250-C18 turbine engine delivers unparalleled acceleration and top speed. • The sheer novelty and exclusivity of a turbine-powered motorcycle guarantee instant attention and a unique riding experience. • Robust construction featuring aerospace-grade materials contributes to overall durability and a distinctive aesthetic. • The turbine engine offers a relatively smooth power delivery compared to traditional piston engines, minimizing vibrations. • The Streetfighter's advanced electronics package includes features like adjustable suspension and traction control for enhanced handling. • The motorcycle possesses a strong, imposing presence with its aggressive styling and large turbine exhaust.⚠️ Things to consider
• Extremely high fuel consumption due to the turbine engine's inherent inefficiency, leading to frequent refueling stops. • Significant heat generation from the turbine exhaust poses a risk to the rider and surrounding environment. • The turbine engine's spool-up time can result in a noticeable delay between throttle input and power delivery. • Very high initial purchase price and maintenance costs associated with the specialized turbine engine and components. • The loud turbine whine can be intrusive and may not be suitable for all riding environments or personal preferences.With 320 HP, requires full Class A license. Riders must be 24+ or have 2 years A2 experience (20+).
