I had a Hayabusa B-King for a few years. I decided to see how fast it would go. Got on the interstate, and slowed down until there was a completely clear road ahead. Dropped the hammer, WFO, and saw 185 in fifth gear, going UPHILL. Decided not to even bother with sixth gear. That thing WUZ a beast.
You stopped pushing right where it ends. The bike can but wont break the gentlemen agreement. Unless... I have a carbed ninja that do 215 and you can feel god at that speed. Also the chain, even tight enough will machine the front sproket housing. I think they say the chain weight several tons at that rpm (13500)
It's amazing just how far ahead you have to be watching out for any traffic or anything moving in front of you, probably mile or more.
Fastest I've been on a bike is around 165 back in the 1980's.
@@1crazypj I went 135 on a GPz 1100
I know that’s slow compared to these days, but it was fast for me
@@PInk77W1 My sister was telling her friend she wouldn't go fast with her son on back of her GPZ600. He told his mum the truth though , 135 LOL
@@1crazypj yikes
I did 331 km. per hr. (confirmed by GPS satellite speedo. ) on my 2000 Honda Blackbird (street legal; licensed). Very minor "improvements" on ign.; intake and exhaust. I was 64 yrs. old at the time. The faster I went the more "stable" the bike felt. Not "scary" at all. I would do it again at 72 if my knees weren't fu**ed LOL
Bert Munro, a 68 year old Kiwi, did a run of 320km/hr on a 1920 Indian scout he had modified, on the salt flats in 1967.
@@mirandahotspring4019 His story was made into a movie with Anthony Hopkins playing Bert. The movie is called "The World's Fastest Indian".
@@JungleDjinn Yes, I know. I also misspelt his name, he preferred Burt.
Yeah I know what you mean, once you get past about 160 mph everything seems to get smoother. I suppose that's where the millions spent on the aerodynamics earns it's money.
@@ax1066a-ghd2 ... good for you; hope all goes well; I had one replaced and now I have a Fiero with a V8 in it to play with😄
Hell of a driver. Knows his machine better than anybody else. Good stuff.
That's what made Valentino Rossi so good
Gives me goosebumps... would love to give it a shot... Congratulations on a monumental effort that succeeded!
I enjoyed the documentary. I was emotionally involved and that's a sign of a good movie.
When everything seems lost, the really tough hang in there and WIN!
Wow, 394MPH. That’s incredible. Congratulations to Rocky, and the rest of the Team. Great Documentary on the Land Motorcycle Speed World Record. I really enjoyed this. I do go 75 Mph sometimes, but I’m 62 on a R1200GS. That’s fast enough for me.👍😁 but when I was 18 I had a Z1 900 and took it up to 110Mph just to do it once. Scared the shit out of me and never did it again.
well, when I was 14 we drove a 64 Malibu towards Tombstone at 140mph. Had my dads vette up to 135mph in 1967. Only had one bike that would go over 110, had it, a Yama 700, up to 140 with my 9 yr old son onboard. Had my dad's vette, after I bought it, up to 170 on N2O. Now we have a Tesla dual motor... not sure if honey is gunna let me open it up. But 60 does come up in 4 sec.
Sounds like you shouldn't be riding motorcycles.
The fastest I ever rode was on a 1985 Ninja 900 at 155 mph. I presently have a 2001 BMW K1200RS. It's supposed to go over 165 mph but I have never tried it. I'm much older now and have more sense.
I have done top speed on my Thunderace, and R1 dozens of times. 170mph ish. I did 146mph, the top speed of my first big bike a GSX750F on the way home from the shop in Aylesbury to South London where I bought it, scratched both footpegs through Tooting too, never looked back. Aren't motorbikes fantastic. Those speeds on salt flats though seem suicidal to me
Yeah, I was on the back of a Z1 900 many years back when the rider put his head down at top speed without warning.
They are scary speeds on 2 wheels. Loved the Z900 though but preferred the Triumph and Harley motors for different reasons
Great job on this documentary... being a San Jose native and dealing with kenny puccio over the years I'm glad that he will be able to go down in history as part of a great endeavor thank you....
At 18:27 it is inferred that it is "the holy grail" of motorcycle racing. As a rider of 50 years, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of riders would tell you the Isle of Man TT is the holy grail and probably couldn't tell you when the last time the record at Bonneville was broken, by whom, and what speed was attained. Bonneville results are of interest to a very very small percentage of the motorcycling world. Don't get me wrong because there is a degree of interest in it but there is something that we see and feel when a rider goes blastin by at close to 200 mph and then negotiate a turn with with his head 2 feet away from a dry rock wall. We like to see a few turns along with a few hills and valleys, throw in some dogs n cars n trees n rocks n sh*t to keep it interesting. That's what makes biking a challenge to us. Going fast in a straight line not so much...........except for drag racing which has more appeal to street riders than Bonneville will ever have mainly because you can see the whole shootin match without a set of binoculars...............and they blowed up good, real good.
And always remember the good Doctor John Hinds, March 21, 1980 - July 4, 2015, one of the best that ever lived.
I am a ridder of 50 years to and I think the Isle of Man TT is "the holy grail" for ridders and the world record for top speed is more of "the holy grail" of engineering, not to say that it doesn't take a super ridder for both.
Agreed.
Although it's technically called a rally, I think the Dakar rally is the holy grail of motorcycle racing
@@ToyotaKTM No. Isle of Man.
Agreed
That's awesome! Good for them. Seems like a really great crew and owner.
The record breakers make it look easy, but you see it takes so so so much work.. Great job
Wonderful documentary! Congrats to rocky and the whole crew.
I was genuinely smiling at the end, and to think Rocky had another two gears he could've used!
Why are we here?
To set a record!!
Because the transmission wouldn't shift they geared it taller so it couldn't/wouldn't have been able to pull the higher gears...
I love bonneville and this video only lacked the smell,sound,heat and eye strain of being there!! Great video😀
what a great doco , great camera work , glued to tv GO ROCKY!
Amazing way to go guys a long road hard work pays off big time!!! Yahoo!👍
That transmission problem was probably in the shifting mechanism, not necessarily in the gears themselves, but in the shifting drum (s). It is very rare and almost undetectable to the naked eye, but a worn peak on a shifting groove will not allow the bike to be shifted to the next gear. Such a problem cost me a win at the 1893 WERA National Finals in the 550 modified class on a Yamaha Seca 550. It was still incredible that they were able to compensate losing 2 gears and still by gearing the machine and upping the boost, achieve 394 MPH in that last run. They didn't mention it, but combined with the 371 MPH pass, that would average out to a 382 MPH record it my math is correct. Good video, and I'm not a Bonneville or even a drag racing fan, but I love almost all types of motorcycle racing and certainly respect these "Kings of Speed on 2 Wheels" whether 11 miles or 1,000' in a straight line.
Glorious times when Burt Munroe won fastest Indian of the world with his commuter bike ..... Still nice to see how the nutjobs obviously aren't done with speed'n aerodynamics in Bonneville yet! Thanks for filming and sharing.
Amazing team effort well done
I was on the edge of my seat the entire video. Good job, gentlemen!
Thanks for an excellent video!
All the Riders & Drivers who attempt Land speed Records have got the guts but also need "Good luck" as well 👍
Congratulations, great job. Greetings from switzerland.
how could you not like this
Beautiful sound at speed.
Could've done without the damn music.
Yes my 2000 Harley Davidson ultra classic does 100-110 no problem. I've been up to 180 on a 750 super sport modified for top end speed. I'm also 66 and the last time I went 110 was November 2022 I had the 750 super sport when I was in the Army in Ft.Hood Texas. I rode fro Corpus Christi to Houston in ONE HOUR AND 25 MINUTES!! YOU CALCULATE MY SPEED!!
Idk man, that 750 barely has more power than I4 250's.
Think that would make a great street bike! Lol great job!!
..........reminds me of a gentleman from Invercargill, New Zealand........the world's fastest KIWI, on a 1920 Indian Scout, broke 201mph.....he returned to Bonneville several times and he was in his sixties.........loved the speed....... I read about that in Popular Mechanic fifty-five years ago or so........
So much like Burt Monroe's story of his Indian, congratulations.
Great achievement! I wa actually surprised you went to Utah with just 2 tyres. I thought you would have a pile of them with you.
A bunch of gifted dedicated mechanics
Amazing effort: perseverance, team work, willingness to take risks... the list of things that you have to be to get it all happening is incredible.
Technically you might call this a motorcycle, but it bears very little relation to what a motorcycle actually is, which makes it a little hard to relate to.
Still... hard to imagine going that fast with two screaming Hayabusa motors behind you, giving it everything they have. Suzuki know how to make engines that you can just keep on adding the layers of stuff to, so that they just keep on delivering. So kudos to the people a Hamamatsu, too!
Suzuki have always made real good, often over engineered engines since the first GS in 1977.
Electrical systems though..............
In fact, until around 2007 you could still buy parts to convert the1979¬83, 2 valve or 4 valve Suzuki GS/GSX 1100 motor to a two valve 1750cc or larger to compete with the 'Harley Davidson' full billet 2 .5 liter motors (nothing HD on or in them except the HD sticker)
At least the Suzuki used stock cases and most of the transmission.
The boss should have listened to the rider earlier instead of assuming he didn't know how to shift a bike into high gear.
I could not agree more.
"The boss" needs to stop micromanaging the attempt. He has a great team and a great machine. Set them free.
I've done 160mph on bikes....I'm lucky to be alive especially all the crazy riding at 110-130mph......I count my blessings
The stuff of legends! Epic.
Rider was a total champion.
Busa-Engines, great passion‼️👍👍👍💖
I knew they were gonna be busa engines as soon as I heard 1300cc lol
Congratulations! So Rocky rides a Guzzi? Great"
Pity you could not mention Don Vesco or Burt Munro in your intro... Bonneville + 2 wheels = Vesco. Balls + 2 wheels = Burt Munro!
PS: I'm old enough to remember Donald Campbell breaking John Cobb's record and exceeding 400 mph on four wheels - and he had a turbine from a jet aircraft!
The Worlds fastest Indian
The Big Boss seems a tad head strong but great effort by the crew!
Fantastic, just fantastic
3:13
Something to ponder, that we don't
necessarily think about as he brings
up; When you're going 350mph you're
basically facing a 350mph wind.
Stick your hand out the window at
80mph, No, on second thought have
a friend demonstrate that for you.
:)
They all earned that, not just Rocky… Way to go, fellas!
good team work and the driver ...
Interesting - this happened in 2010, and nobody has gone faster since.
Hold my beer, I’m just popping down to my shed...! 🧐😎😜
@@G58 hey I’ll hold the Beer, but can’t guarantee there will be any left when you get back. I might have to Raid the Fridge too.😁👍
@@joeybobbie1 😁🧐😎😜👀
I used to own an unrestricted early version of the Kawasaki ZX12R top speed 225 mph, it was built in 2000 to beat the Suzuki Hyabusa GSX1300, which also did close to 220mph, it arrived in 1999. Sorry had to pick you up on your openning statement. The fastest motorbike have been flying past 200mph for over 20 years. What a blast your film is though, great result
Condragulations, that was epic.
Well done.
My mechanic, Dyno Steve, on Rich Rd held that record for a long time...256 mph as I recall. Unreal. I could barely hang on my lightning at 100+ miles an hour less😅
Excellent 😎👍
''Hell YEAH"!!!! x1000
The release is so violent
Just think what he could’ve done if he had fifth and sixth gear amazing
**400 MPH ON 2 WHEELS - THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF PEE COMING OUTTA ME RIGHT NOW!!!**
Hello??? "A very long straight and FLAT stretch of land." 1:26 The earth is flat! Congratulations Rocky!
Now rocky has the new record at 376 mph
When I was younger I drove my Porsche at 148mph on a UK road it was the most stupid thing I have ever done the steering wheel was literally shaking and I had brake failure on slowing down. I'm so grateful I'm alive. I'm 39 now have a beautiful son and family it could have ended differently. Speed kills please drive safe life if very precious.
With the tire problem solved the parachute doors should have gone back on
Honda CBX 6cyl back about 1982-83.. with my wife on the back, I hammered it.. front wheel touched back down as we passed 100.. I saw 140.. and my wife was becoming unstable.. I don't know what it would have done.. probably not too much more.. but that thing was incredible..
Wow, 394 mph! 👍👏
Glad that tire did the trick and held together!🙏
Thats "Only" 2.92 Times Faster than the 135 mph I ran in 1983, on an empty freeway at 21 years old tucked down on the tank of a 1983 Kawasaki GPz 750!😱
"That'll do pig, That'll do"!😁
Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖
That's the way it goes , build it, break it, rebuild it, break it, rebuild it.....
The people twisting wrenches never really get tired of it,
I hope they have a speed week this year in 2021! been too long since the last running
czcams.com/video/xVBVzPrRpw0/video.html here you go!
That looks pretty tricky !!
If they are going to pair bikes with rocket engines or even electric powered engines and pit it against production bikes it’s not fair . Riding bikes on the road has a feel and gives you a solid thrill and nothing else can give you the same feel.
When a 500 cc Kawasaki "Mach III" , gets you a timing slip of "152mph" @ Elkhart Lake, that was just short of the speed of light for me.LLLOOOLLL
There are "many" classes for bikes (and cars) so production vehicles aren't running for the same records as the modified vehicles.
Classes start with Engine Displacement and Engine Configuration IE 2-stroke, 4-stroke, V Twin, NA, Turbo, Nitrous all have class/rules/records of they're own.
Then it gets into body style, from Naked to Streamline (like this bike). Now lets add different Fuels into the mix = MANY different classes/records...
A friend of mine has set several LSR records on bikes in multiple classes just by doing things like running Naked first (no fairings), then he would bolt just the nose on for another class/record, THEN he add the sides the fairings to set a 3rd record in a 3rd class. Next after that he simply changed Fuels (from pump gas to race gas) and set 2 or 3 more records all at one even...
Always make room for innovation .... don’t let the Trans take over the wimmins sport, similarly run innovative vehicles in their own categories . Maintain Sportsmanship!!! At all Costs !
Laying on my gas tank, I’ve been 100 mph on my Triumph Bonneville. It was flat out and scared me s*itless.
All we need is one more....famous last words

looking for a "qualified" individual willing to drive 400 mph+ in my homemade experimental motorcycle
400 mph is 2 football fields a SEC0ND. Bonneville is 8 to 14 miles long on a good day. My question; What horse power will you have and how much of it is at the low end of your REVS to get to 400 mph?
@@raycarolewallace466 The difference between 394 and 400 could be the smallest change in the aerodynamics given that drag is proportional to the square of speed. Or, traction at any given hour could easily make 6 MPH. Many years ago I was able to measure 10% wheelspin at my top speed of 121 on 15 cu. in.
@@perrysims3320 They are spinning a LOT more than that now. The 1,000cc bike I helped tune had 80Lb of lead in his swingarm and his entire run(s) were still all about throttle control, trying to keep it from spinning "too much" (wasn't ever able to get/keep the throttle wide open on any of his runs)...
@@KCadbyRacing I don't doubt it. Almost all the 4-wheel streamliners are ground effect cars now. I was excited about the Carbonite Car. I thought the design was a good step. It is still to be proven. I don't think that their innovative design brought them down, but a nasty mechanical failure.
Nice !

From doubting Rocky, to Rocky driving AND engineering it also... How's that for a happy ending!!!!
Fastest I ever road a bike was on my 1972 850 Norton @150 MPH. Then you could hear the valves,starting to float as the Norton never had camshaft centre bearing supports.
Center bearing can't stop valve float and a 850 Norton could not touch 150
Hmmmm..... that's not the only thing starting to float...
What a desirable bike back then. I couldn’t afford one but they were the real macho machine.
@@deltabluesdavidraye he may have meant 120, but I knew a guy who drove one across the prairies in Canada and he said he just gunned it through the boring flat parts, which is a LOT of it out there.
Check pics and videos from converted film, of course, and notice the spear shaped protrusion on nose of the aircraft. I read about it when i was a kid, I'm 68 now so you can do the math, and what i read was that as the jet powered aircraft approached 300mph they encountered that barrier of wind that was like a wall and required a, for those days, a massive amount of horsepower to overcome. So someone came up with the idea to use the spear lookin things to create it's own intrusion into the wall out in front of the jet's fuselage and the waves opened up a type of hole thru the wall ahead of the jet. You can find graphs and wind tunnel results from back then. Suggested it to John Force to try on his Funny Car and while he laughed but was for trying it since it's the tires that trip the lights, not the body, nobody humored him, or me.
Seems like if it would possibly help anybody it would be salt flat racers. Probl cost less than $500 and what could it hurt. Another crazy idea is to install an ionizing device that thins the air ahead of the vehicle. Probably wudn't help as you're interrupting the air so quickly. In a closed space it will cause the dust to go to the floor.
Know ya'll don't read comments but perhaps someone who knows you might mention the jet fighter fix. If it only made a mile or two mph difference i think that would be cool but if it helped in stabilizing the bike that would be amazing. I'm dyin ftom 5th cancer but wish i could see ya'll try it. If only in a wind tunnel.
rick in Tennessee. Uh, don't have any suggestions to lower "pucker factor" of rider/driver. I'm pretty sure that causes some drag on any bike or vehicle. The machines can feel the tenseness. L8r.
Love hes daily ride a guzzi , the most beautiful bike engine
Narrator: Fastest production bike, "almost" 200mph????
Kawasaki H2R: Here, Hold my gas (beer)...

Do I have to wear a helmet and leathers or just go in an singlet and flip flops?
H2R?
**Laughs in MTT turbine bike**
@@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 Really??
I'm still to see the Y2K 420RR go past 230mph... Factory claims 250mph/405kmh, but I have not seen anyone break the 230 barrier.
H2R has gone past 405kmh.
I don't have any doubt that the Y2K is capable of that and more, I guess it's a matter of finding the right pilot (titanium gonads required)...
Cheers!!
@@aleveraj They have broken 235mph on their own test track/airstrip.
The MTT is capable of that and more, its finding a place that can allow it to reach maximum velocity and stop that seems to be the problem.
computational fluid dynamics tells me that a crosswind will blow the bike over sideways
The understanding of the gyroscopic effect of two wheels spinning at those speeds in a vertical plane tells the rest of us that it won't.
Swap out those dual Hayabusa engines for a pair of 1441cc ZX-14R engines with that 35lb of boost!
The teams next move...

Can you imagine being disappointed going 327 mile an hour?
Yup
If I had something faster, sure ! On my GSX1100 nope !
Talk about a pucker ride!!
Sheer tenacity won the day.
Wouldn't it be an idea to have an adjustable wing on each side of the bike so if it's veering one way you could open a wing from the side so it accounts for the veering and keeps it straight up and down? Or if that would mess with the air flow too much maybe look at the weight distributation on board
Love the Moto Guzzi.
Big Shout Out to Mechanics!!!!!!!
394 - wow!!!
what did they use for motors?
Whoever put the music on the engine noise needs to be sacked.
Brakes are useless at these speeds that got my attention.
Love sound of bike
@ 7:38 "take this airplane, put it on the ground take the wings off and put wheels on it....."
It already HAS wheels.
The plane has three wheels. You missed his point.
@@jackbelk8527 Three wheels ARE wheels. Wheels mean more than ONE wheel.
Computers that adjust aerodynamic stabilizers is the solution to higher speeds.
Why does the sound cut out about 30 seconds in? I guess it was stuck in 5th gear... I went back and relouded and it worked ok. Sounds pretty cool with the engines singing. Still, the best sound ever is Al Teague's car with the big V8 turning ??? 7K +?. Like a dragster but just going on and on and on. Better than any symphony and I'm a classical music nut.
I wonder if the thing was flexing at high speed and jamming the shift linkage. Imagine how fast he could have gone with the top two gears?
@Chris Baker. You think a big V8 sounds good (yes they do, my 413 Max wedge sounds awesome at speed), but try a V12. I've got a smallish 3.9 litre Italian V12 that turns 8,000rpm, and sounds Like nothing else, but my 6 litre German V12 is a lot faster even though they limit them to 6,000rpm and it doesn't sound as good.. For a few years now I have been thinking of finding a cheap one and stripping it down to build a salt car. I reckon I could lose nearly a tonne in weight taking all the sound deadening and electric motors out of it. The standard cars will do 340kmh, so dropping lots of weight it would have the horsepower to turn higher gearing easily enough. I'd be happy to join the 200 club. That would be cool in a factory spec car.
@@andrewlongfield3102 I had a Ford Escort SX2, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder and it sounded really good at 8 grand. But I also used to ride a Honda CB700 Nighthawk that turned 11,500. I hear bikes every night that turn well into the teens here. They sound great too. Not enough big V8s though. So I'm deprived 🙃.
@@chrisbaker2903 Those Escort motors sound great. I rallied for nearly 30 years, so they are a very familiar noise to me, especially listening to them coming through the forest at night pulling full revs. I had a mate who spent many years driving speedway in Dirt Modifieds (basically sprint cars without wings), and he was telling me that some of the guys running Chevs (304 I assume), were running them to 15 or 16k , and the Chrysler 318's were running over 17 grand. Unfortunately I never got to hear them, and I think the bigger engines in the sprint cars 'only' rev to about 12k. I think you are probably exactly right about body flexing jamming the linkage at speed. I think it was most likely wind pressure over a certain speed distorting the bodywork enough to jam the shifter. It was one solution they never seemed to explore. They also never tried (I assume because it's not in the film), short shifting it into high gear at a lower speed earlier in the run, and using more track to bring the revs up. It's possible it wouldn't have had the power to maintain that speed at lower revs., but it didn't look like they tried it. Maybe they already knew the engine parameters well enough to know it wouldn't work, but what if they raised the rev limit, and 'shortened' the gearing allowing them to get in the high gears earlier at lower speed? They would probably still be able to run the same top speed as the higher rev limit would cancel the lower gearing, the difference being that they could put it into high gear at a lower speed. Mind you thats making a lot of assumptions about things I don't really have enough data for.
IOM for the Win IMO ! BUT ... Just imagine if they'd been able to get Ack ATTACK into high gear ?
Hey Mike do you know why the the Shelby daytons Coupe has that chopped off tail???? Pete Brock says it is counter intuitive, BUT best stabillity aerodynamics!!!!

How do the wheels not blowup? I've seen the rear tire of a street bike expand and hit the frame at high speed.
