I am intrigued a h***a faster than a green thing..... bring it on
So far the Blue corner Suzuki (and their Italian cousins) have had a pop at us and failed on race tuned machinery- albeit I think we were lucky as both Colin and Steve had problems. Suzi did claim the fastest road bike crown at Brunters - Craig Millners immac RGV did 135.summit mph.
After Bonneville I think that the Green camp can claim the fastest road bike crown from Craig M (RGV250). Craig's was the fastest road legal 250 at Bruntingthorpe though it had plenty of aftermarket stuff on - at Bonny we ran a stock spec bike and went nearly 2mph faster (the faster bit is over a full mile - not peak speed as at Brunters - I reckon peak at Bonny might have been 2 to 3mph higher as revs went up and down a bit over the mile as wind and salt conditions varied). The Bonny speed is a harder target measure than the Brunters peak.
May have a ride over tomorrow and have a pint (on a push bike)
The 350 production record is held by a Yam at 128mph. I think 350 Yam that was at Bonny this time couldn't get over 118mph.
A 350 Yam powered streamliner went 195mph - took Don Vesco's old record.

The ride home was a little frantic and the Kr1 blew at about 125 just snagged a ring on the front of the exhaust port.
