Intent: A speedy bike for Flint to enjoy and work on. Everyone needs a hobby.
Development Thread: None, but it will likely be modified later(which will of course be handled through dev threads and submission modification)
Manufacturer: Ikas-Adno
Model: 91-R Voidscreamer
Affiliation: Future Organ Donors Everywhere
Modularity: Highly. Like any other bike the exhaust, handlebars, mirrors, frame, and repulsors can be changed out to achieve a different feel, with entire communities centered around building "their" bike by modifying a stock model. Some try to fulfill a certain aesthetic, while others try to achieve that ever elusive 1 megameter/hr mark.

Weight: 250 kg
Minimum Crew: 1
Optimal Crew: 1
Propulsion: Repulsor Lift
Top Speed: 900 km/h
Armaments: None
Squadron Count: N/A
Passenger Capacity: 1, could fit 1 more with aftermarket sidecar attachment
Cargo Capacity: None, though Ikos-Akno sells travel bags that can be strapped on, and their also several other after-market options
Misc. Equipment: Forward Facing Particle Shield
Strengths:
+Speed: The 91-R Voidscreamer has a top speed and acceleration many call "suicidal"
+Particle Shield: In order to shield the user from the damages of wind, sand and rain hitting you going over 700 km/h the Voidtscreamer comes with a forward-facing particle shield.
Weaknesses:
-Maintenance: The 91-R is a well oiled machine, but not necessarily a very durable one. Careful care and a decent sized wallet must be had in order to keep the Voidscreamer in good shape.
-Availability: Attempting to appeal to the higher class market Ikas-Adno pulled out all the stops for the Voidscreamer, and as a result production was lowered, with only a thousand or so made a year.
Description: The Post-Gulag successor to Ikas-Adno's 88-R Nightscreamer, enhancing it's high speed while giving it a sleek design and retaining it's particle shielding. The particle shielding is to protect it's users from from debris and is surprisingly strong. If parked or at lower speeds the Voidscreamers shield is adequate enough to stop a few slugthrower shots, but it can't handle such fire at higher speeds. The particle also has the effect of lessening the impact of a collision, but can only reduce it so much when topping out. A killer crash might be avoided, but the user may be sipping food out of a straw for the rest of his life. The modular nature of the design appeals to many speedsters, some choosing to remove or reduce safety features to go for a higher top speed, while others add blaster cannons or security countermeasures in order to make a more secure, though less quick vehicle. Overall the vehicle is an exceedingly quick and modular, if rare design that lets it's ultimate form only be limited by the imagination and credit chit of the user.
