That was a naked bike class. You need massive horsepower to do those speeds on a bike with the cd of a Fire Engine.

Cause it has to be 20 degrees on a tuesday at 3.14pm on a leap year to actually qualify for the record i believe..Originally Posted by phantom67

Eeeks ya think thats fast, pedrosa was clocked at over 349km/h (confirmed) at mugello. Only on the track there is an end in sight.....that end being a corner.

Mind you, motogp bikes costs millions, put that into the busa and itll probably go even faster that 349 km/h.
In the riders seat
two runs within a certain time, timed over a certain distance and the average of the two runs taken

Seeing as my point is being ignored, that was a NAKED 'busa. No fairing. Towing a giant wall of drag.
A 'busa with a fairing and that bike's horsepower would have gone significantly faster.

tripple dip
To get a record it has to be done under very strict conditions multiple runs (in both directions I think so no wind or slope advantage) and timed very accurately.
This is NOT the "OUTRIGHT" motorcycle record
Thats a bit over 519 km/h !!!To put things in perspective, the outright motorcycle speed record of 323 mph was set by a dual-engined, nitro-burning Harley that was claimed to be pumping out around 450 horsepower.

I don't know exactly how they calculate the speeds of MotoGP bikes (I am guessing GPS or computer calculates revs+gear+gearing)

Last time I looked GP bikes ran full fairings,
Deans due back in about 2 weeks, Ill see if the wants to post something here /
now where's some dirt!
No the speed trap speeds are on a track sensor (two beams a set distance apart that time how far the bike takes to go that distance, only like 20-30mm i believe). So the actual figure is usually a few kph different. They try put it as close to the brake point as possible but can't get it right where the rider hits them. They are a good comparison so long as you know everyone is still flat out.

Badass !
300+ on a naked would require maximum cojones me thinks..
Congratulations Dean
