Last week, Bill Warner broke the speed record by getting his 1000 horsepower motorcycle up to 311 mph at the Loring Air Force Base in Maine. A video was released, but it only showed Warner taking off from the starting line. Who wants to see that?
Well, a video of Warner's record breaking ride has just been released. Here is what it looks like when you're riding a motorcycle at more than 300 mph.
From Youtube:
"On Sunday July 17th, 2011 at Loring Air Force Base, in Limestone, Maine, he became the first man to exceed 300 mph riding a sit-on motorcycle with a stunning 311.94 mph run. Bill would like to extend a special thanks to Ward Performance and Motors by Knecum for giving him the potential for the 1000 horsepower required to achieve his lifelong goal to be the first man to surpass 300 MPH on a motorcycle."
Warner wasn't able to duplicate the feat on his return run, so the record, as of now, is unofficial. Warner is still the fastest non-streamlined motorcycle on the planet, even without the record. Warner has a 278.6 mph record on the books already. But Warner isn't the fastest man on two wheels. Rocky Robinson holds that record with a 376 mph run on a streamlined motorcycle.
