Or lose it, even!

Fuck riding that.

[cde21]

Yep fuck a bunch of that

[Snatch Napkin]

I must have one!!

Holy shitbird. That's about 30mph faster than the fastest cars. Power to weight I guess.

[Snatch Napkin]

From the looks of the telemetry it seems as though it pulled a little over a g during acceleration at one point.


Trick Pony, power to weight certainly has something to do with being able to accelerate that fast, but after 180 MPH aerodynamics really takes over.

That definitely surprised me. Against a fast car most high powered bikes own the race early and then lose at 150+

Was it just me or did it kinda start slowing down as it approached 190, then it took back off again. Kinda like it has a multi stage boost control setup that doesn't go to full boost till after 190 mph.

Either way you look at it, that gave me wood!!!!

I wonder what the gearing differences are between those bikes and this one.

I'm sure this mofo is sprocketed much 'taller' to be hitting that kind of speed.

I bet!

I just watched the other video of his run and you can see that he has better aerodynamics than stock too.

Here's the video.

300mph an eventual possibility?
