Simon a mate and his company a-ward attachments are sponsoring some guys to break the world speed records on a 1350cc. A bit of background history on their challenge can be found here but bascially:
The bike is a 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa in the MPS-1350-BG class which means Modified production, partially streamlined, 1350cc, blown gasoline. Rider is Richard Assen who is very casual about everything he does (crypes he is going to sit on top of a bike and control it going over 400 km/h), the technician is Jason Swan who loves to tinker and make everything go faster and faster until it pops.
During September this year, they will be taking this extremely fast bike to Bonneville, USA and get the following records:
The first event is BUB Speed trials (2nd to 7th of September) where they will be challenging the AMA (American Motorcycles Association) record which stands at 217.85 MPH (350.52km/h) for their class. Also, at this first event they will also be challenging the FIM overall world record for a motorcycle which stands at 252MPH (405.5km/h).
The second event is The World of Speed (17th to 20th of September), where they will be attempting to break the SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) record of 233MPH (374.9km/h).
All I can say is GOOD LUCK!!!!!
