Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is strictly for highly experienced, expert-level riders due to its extreme, unconventional turbine power delivery and mind-bending top speed.
PurposeBuilt as a rare, exotic showpiece and straight-line speed icon rather than a conventional track or corner-carving sportbike.
Rider FitThe relatively low seat height and sportbike ergonomics are approachable, but the ferocious acceleration demands strong physical control and mental composure.
CharacterA jet-turbine-powered spectacle that trades traditional engine character for whining turbine sound, instant torque, and jaw-dropping novelty.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for new riders, budget-conscious buyers, commuters, or anyone seeking a practical, low-maintenance daily or touring machine.

2009 Marine Turbine Technologies Superbike Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Marine Turbine Technologies Superbike, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
