Buddy of mine just set the new record for sit-on motorcycles at over 262 mph. Little Honda 1000 gets it done.

FOOKing HELL

 

Damn that pretty nuts!

 

Those quarter mile markers are flying by every 4 or 5 seconds

 

jesus... your buddy is f*ucking nuts lol.

 

My old drag bike was technically still set on, and it would do 250+ on street tires with a stock swingarm. Who determined this was a record? A stock GSX-R1000 with the limiter removed will roll 240

 

There are different sactioning bodies. I think this particular meet is sactioned by the FIA, but I'm not 100% sure. If it isn't set at a sanctioned event, it isn't an official record. It's a lot tougher on the salt than it is on pavement. I would be surprised if a stock GSX-R1000 would run 240. In current trim, this bike is making well over 350 RWHP.

 

That's crazy power. I wasn't trying to undercut your buddy so hopefully my tone didn't come off that way. I haven't tried running on salt, but I would assume the traction characteristics are very very different lol.

 

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE I GET SKEEEERED AT LIKE 145 on my bike lol!! I could not imagine going this fast on a bike bro!! your friend has GOT to be a few FRIES short of a happy meal! lol

There is another video off the back of the bike at about 250 with rear wheel speed in the 280 range. Bike is fishtailing and laying rubber on the salt. Made some changes and got it hooked up for the record run. BTW no offense taken. Currently I believe that Leslie Porterfield still holds the 1000 production record at a tick over 200 on a CBR.
