Are You Brave Enough to Ride a 300 Horsepower Turbocharged Motorcycle?

I've been fortunate to ride a lot of very fast, very sketchy machines. From turbocharged two-stroke backcountry snowmobiles, to superbikes with over 200 horsepower, and everything in between, speed and horsepower don't usually phase me. I once drove a Bugatti Chiron and allegedly saw 186 mph in less than a mile. 

But there's something about when you just throw gobs of horsepower into a relatively lightweight motorcycle that terrifies even me, a lover of lunacy. And that's the feeling I got when I first saw the Langen LS12 Lightspeed Turbo, a liter bike with a turbocharger and a whopping 300 horsepower. 

Oh yeah, did I mention it's a naked bike? Cause it is.
