So there was this new, as yet unopened bridge, and Kenan Sofuoglu had a turbo Kawasaki to play with.

Yeah right. You bought a KTM 1290 to do 100kph.That'd be me, turn bike on: Max Speed 100kph.

Funny what goes through your mind.
1. I hope they warmed up the engine first ...
2. Is that a Kawasaki indicated 400 or a real life 400? My Ducati manual says my speedo is set to read 8% high - what's the Kawaka.
3. Does it matter if it is a Kawasaki 400 or real 400 Allan - it is very very fast.
4. That bike looked so much better than the green ones usually used.
5. Did he wave?

Well it's certainly never done 400kph.Yeah right. You bought a KTM 1290 to do 100kph.
Not sure if I'd want to try holding on to it there anyway, it's bad enough at half that speed.

I wonder why they didnt do a second pass then they have a world record maybe kawaski dont want the attention
Of an enviable height
Oh, I think it's all about gaining attention. But who reads a Guinness record book before buying a bike.

If they didn't want the attention they wouldn't have made it in the first place I'm guessing! But might have something to do with it being a track only bike?

From memory it took 26 seconds. A maximum of 30 seconds had been set because of fears the tyres wouldn't hold together longer than that at those speeds.
From what I have seen of record attempts that wouldn't qualify as such, but I guess Kenan was offered a special ride on a brand new bridge and took it.
Besides Kawasaki, Redbull, Motul, and whoever, all get publicity.

Im calling it bullshit.
The guys from trickstar in japan tried to max out a stock H2R and a modified one.
The stock one hits the rev limiter at about 330kmh, and the fastest they can get the modified one to is about 350kmh (~380 indicated).
If they were serious about 400kmh they would have used accurate timing equipment, not a gopro aimed at the speedo.
