Is there anything better? Run ctags recursively over your code base, and then use your favorite editor (vim, right?! or emacs, if you must[1]) to follow paths through your program logic, jump to variable definitions, and all kinds of other fun stuff. It keeps a stack, so you can pop back up to a higher frame and recurse down another path, ad nauseum.
It supports 33 languages, and is used on all 7 continents (don't know why that matters, but hey, it's on the home page).
As someone who rides a great deal, I can tell you that this bike is really good for one thing and one thing only: straight-line speed. Much more important to any motorcycle is its handling and corner speed. Modern two-stroke GP bikes raced by the likes of Valentino Rossi in the World GP series are not designed around the engine, they are designed around the chassis. Making the engine so much more powerful than the capabilities of the chassis, suspension, and tires would literally burn up a racer's tires, which obviously isn't too good for handling.
Simply put, the engine is made the fit the chassis to provide maximum handling and speed through the corners, where it counts. While cool, this bike is basically on the same level as turboed or NOS-ed bikes; I would hate to imagine what would happen if you were to give this beast too much throttle while at full lean...

Ultimate superbike? Hardly.

If this is the same turbine-powered bike I've seen before, it only has one gear! There's so much torque that this is not a problem.
Incidentally, Jay Leno has one as well.
