See what it's like to go that fast:

According to Ubergizmo, the bike has a Remy HVH250 electric propulsion motor and an Ener1 battery pack, which gives it a combined city/highway range of 150 miles.Though the bike is the fastest sold in North America, it is not the fastest elsewhere. The Suzuki Hayabusa is the world's fastest motorcycle with a top speed of 248MPH, according to Gizmodo.

The Lightning Motorcycle costs about $40,000. Let us know if you get one.
