After doing a little web-surfing, it seems like you could get a top-end
of around 70 mph with the most powerful version of these jet motors. Of
course the kit would set you back $5,000US, and an hour of cruising full
speed would consume about 12gal of jet fuel.

I particularly like the safety aspect of having a large plastic jerry
can of jet fuel about 12" from my crotch while I'm sitting right in
front of a jet engine.

For the cost of those two engines, you could buy a more-than-decent
real motorcycle that would get better fuel economy and provide a
higher top speed.

Yeah, but that would be practical.

You can also apparently get a turbine powered motorcycle:

A bit more expensive, though ($150,000US).
