Jet Reaction is a motorcycle built by British motorcycle land-speed record challenger Richard Brown. The motorcycle is powered by a turboshaft helicopter engine converted to afterburning turbojet.[2]

Brown previously ran the Gillette Mach 3 Challenger hydrogen peroxide rocket motorcycle at Bonneville Salt Flats, setting a one-way speed record of 332.887 mph (535.730 km/h)[3] and top speed of 365 mph (587 km/h).[4] He expects to exceed 400 mph (640 km/h) with Jet Reaction in 2012–2013.[5] If successful, it will be the first jet-propelled motorcycle record breaker.[6]
