one can build a jet motor bike, as can be seen in the video link posted by Guest.

but is it *feasible*? you'll first have to answer the question of utility. what is it for?

for personal transport? you'll only be a danger to yourself, other road users and pedestrians.

for racing? I doubt the racing clubs will allow your machine. kindly refer to the AMA PRO Racing rules, section 1.6 "Engines", where supercharging and turbocharging are not even permitted.

you'll have to wait 'til they change the rules.

for now, better try racer bikes. it's safer and healthier.

Yeah, why not?

Beats pedalling and you don't need a pilot's licence.

Here is the turbine powered motorcycle like the one that former Tonight Show host, Jay Leno owns.

Super cool, but not exactly practical for the daily commute.
