It's a large file... but the download speed is very fast.

The Rider / Owner is John Noonan.... he holds a couple of land speed records. :nworthy:

Damn that run on the dirt looks scary as hell

Thanks or hooking up the link.


I don't know why, but i expected more for this. 545hp and about the same weight can only get you 250mph??? Was the bike just spinning the whole way done the track? Did he even open it up? Did he ge past 4th gear? Did he not go any faster for fear of being ripped off the bike? Was he running a 50+ tooth rear sprocket?
Seems odd that a 500BHP lambo can go 205ish all the while weighing in at quadrouple the weight, yet this bike that's been punched out and blown can't go much faster? Hell, the McClaren did a proven 235+ all stock. Why does the bike seem so slow to me?

nice

1 mile.

Can the Lambo go from 0mph to 250 in less than 1 mile?

Speeds above 200mph become increasing difficult to reach.

There's an algorithm used to calculate an estimated top speed based on a number of variables, I'll see if I can find it.
You would probably be surprised what it takes to go 200mph.

So when some genius says his Busa or ZX12R goes over 200mph... chances are they are wrong.

Here's a chart that is relavent to the Busa that is based on gearing:
