Good to see records being broken, but I'm pretty sure that even the old Hayabusa could easily manage over 186mph average non-streamlined.

Seems a bit of an odd record.

...in the 1000 - 1350 cc stock, partially streamlined, naturally aspirated motorcycle class...

How does a Hayabusa not fit in that class?

Maybe it does, but it might be that no one has run one at that event and got the speed verified, or there could be something in the rules that exclude it
