World's Fasters Motorcycle Streamliner on IV
« on: July 17, 2011, 07:54:07 PM »
APE is proud to announce that The Discovery Channel will have a one hour special on Rocky Robinson setting the record for the world's fastest motorcycle at the Bonneville salt flats.

The Ack Attack streamliner recorded a record speed of 376 mph, with an exit speed of 394 mph.

The Ack Attack is powered by a pair of turbocharged Hayabusa engines with Carrillo rods, CP pistons, and virtually every Hayabusa part that APE makes.

The special will be aired July 21 and again on the 22nd.  Check your listings for the time.

Don't miss this.

Another fantastic achievement.  The bar is being set very high with 394 MPH exit speeds for streamliners, 311+ MPH for conventional motorcycles and 250+ MPH for normally aspirated bikes.

I missed it but I'm pretty sure Rocky was selling the DVD's. I'll have to buy one so I can check it out. Great to see LSR getting some TV time.  :thumb:

 :eek: 376 and 394 are numbers that belong to aircraft, not motorcycles.    :tu: Congratulations!!!! :thumb:

Awesome to see it do it in only 4 gears. U wonder how fast it would have been if they had all the gears. They overcame a lot of gremlins to get the record too.
