[skweetis123]

The video was siiiick!!!

[Dymass]

Check this, this is modern engine, modern technology, rised by megaminds and for huge money, Burt Munro had 1928 Indian Scout rised from 600ccm till over 900 ccm in a shed. This bike above is good, but its not impresive.

I didn't realize the salt surface robbed speed, guess it makes sense though. Is there a formula? What would that thing do on asphault?

[momsluckystars]

What kind of bike and Motor is this?

[RavenCar]

The bike is a custom built, partial streamliner. The motor is a turbo charged, alcohol burning 900cc Triumph Speedtriple motor. It ran very strong. Thanks for asking!

really nice vid =]

not the most adrenaline pumping ive ever seen as they do over 200mph on normal country roads at the isle of man tt and north west 200 but definately a great vid 4* =]

[RavenCar]

Thanks for the comments but please realize that racing on a salt surface is completely different than racing on a paved surface. An "apples compared to oranges" kind of thing...

[hmzaox]

@RavenCar traction is alot less correct? and slat causes alot more friction which is making motor work harder reach 200 mph so bike on long pave road could reach what 250+?

[bravo3000pirate]

yes, sorry i reacted that fast! but personally i like 1 cam (on the front) more than 4 cams. maybe because i'm dreaming to drive on bonneville. as a driver you don't look behind ya while driving... except burt munro ofcourse haha.

thanks anyway for this video!

[bravo3000pirate]

why the onboard cams allways show the back, I wanna see where hes going :D

[RavenCar]

actually this clip is comprised of (4) four cameras! two onboard cams consisting of; a front view, a rear view, and two off board cameras consisting at different points on the track. if you watch the entire clip you will see all camera views.

[RavenCar]

sorry, 5 cams.  forgot the start line...

[bonnevillebusa]

i went to bville in sept 07, had an o6 busa that dinoed 175 at the back wheel went 191.670 This 3 cyl triumph had to be putting out at least 200 hp to go over 200mph. good for him. my run is on the tube also. bonneville guy lombardi. see you in 08!!!!!!!!!!

Nice video!!! 200mph on the salt is great. Completely different than on asphalt. Good Job.
