Default Fastest Motorcycle evar




The Chris Carr piloted BUB Seven is now the fastest motorcycle in the world, completing a record-breaking run at the Bonneville Salt Flats this afternoon with a 362.742 entry speed, 367.809mph mile, 367.953mph kilometer and 372.534mph exit speed. All that with a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, 500bhp V4. The previous record was 360.913mph, set by Team Ack Attack last year.

Looks like a 2 wheeled car...

Or wingless plane.

One wheel in front, one in back, both aluminum because at that speeds tires fall apart, and 2 outriggers for low speed stability or it will tip over.

I'm waiting for this record to be beat by this bike



expected speed, roughly 500 mph

Interesting the 1km speed was higher than the 1 mile speed. Sounds like they could squeeze another .1 to .2mph out of that.

Other than simply having 2 wheels, how can that even be considered a motorcycle.
