    Probably that shitty old Suzuki motor he's using

    I think the question winja might really be asking is after reading the website, hearing about the costs and hassles etc, we are wondering why he is having problems getting a motorcycle (with an extra wheel attached) to 150mph - which is less than the top speed of my 15 year old 600cc bike.

    I realise that,but it doesn't mean I cant give him some crap about his comments

    As I already explained because they cant run the canopy it is causing instabilty when they approach the 250kmh,maybe they'll have to make some big holes in the back of the body work to let the air thats filling it up somewhere to get out

    What your 15 year old bike says on the speedo and what it does in real life are quite likely two different things

    You sure they haven't put your old XJ550 in there Kickaha. Even with the 3rd wheel a 180HP + GSXR motor it should piss bowl past 250k . I take it they tryed out the shell for been aerodynamic ?

    Mate, they didn't want my XJ motor I think they were scared the chassis wouldn't handle the power it puts out, so they choose a lesser model GSXR1000 instead

    Could be worse, they could have a fat bastard like you riding it,that'd truly fuck the power to weight ratio

    No point, as the timing gear has shit itself so it wasn't worth risking the entire project if they couldn't get the record, they found a few things wrong so they'll sort those out as best they can and have another bash at it

    Mines only done 100,000 so plenty of life left in it yet

    So what are the restrictions for this because I watched this on 3 last night and could only think:
    "Fu*k I'd pass them at those speeds on old "Roxanne" with the kitchen sink on while Death or the Gost Rider rode past me on the back wheel"

    Now if that was MPH then we would be talking.
