At 260.804mph

On this list, Hiro would be 19th !

Fabulous to jump into the top 20 on the first try !

Great new addition to the list !

Guy Martin riding one of
Jack Frost's Holeshot Busas gen 2
 put up a 257.727 mph backed up with
a 256.491 mph so that puts him well
up the list as his opening entry.

Fastest 1mile should  be listed 296, I see another person listed twice!! It is a category left out and should be recognised.  I mean show the guy some respect.

We are keeping our eyes on this one, waiting for more details.

MAX BIAGGI, the famous Roman Emperor and
 winner of two World Superbike Titles, slammed
down a 254mph one-way speed
with an Voxan WATTMAN ELECTRIC motorcycle

Biaggi used the 2.17-mile runway of
Marcel Dassault Airport in Châteauroux, France !

Yes, we need more details.  The Standing Start speeds they're claiming make absolutely no sense compared to the Flying Start speeds.  And how did they manage all that on a 2.17 mile long course?

https://electrek.co/2020/11/04/this-254-mph-408-km-h-electric-motorcycle-just-set-11-new-world-records/

(edit) I suppose if Max used 1 mile (1.6 km) to accelerate into the measured kilometer, he would have .9 km to significantly slow/turn off.  Possible but probably pretty scary.  Granted, he's a great rider but that's not much room.  And the slow Standing Start speeds baffle me.
