There's a difference between stock engine and stock bike. Stock engine referes to one that has never been opened. Therefore it doesn't have racing pistons, cams and all the other goodies that engine builders like to put into a "racing" engine. Electronically we can bypass the electronic speed restriction of 186 mph.

thats not the record the fastest went 230 mph and my dads zx-14 went 211 at salt flats

@varmitsac111 - Congratulations to your Dad. He is obviously in a different record class. I will look forward to seeing his name in the record books. Where did he do the 230 mph and what class was he in?

@inagod that's great with the fact that not a single one was flown in over a decade kid.

pretty sad that he can not get that big bike to go faster seems like it could guess just the mechanic pretty bad when a old man can take an old Indian single or i think two cylinder engine and make it run 209.00 miles an hour i just cant see why people cant get these bikes to do that wiered

i wonder what speed a y2k r would set at this place?... ill mortgage the house and find out.

@me2billy how do you bypass speed restrictions I have been wondering that for a while

[chevelle43]

i bet a NHRA bike would smash any standing record without even trying lol

Bill Warner the new Bike Record Holder - 278.6MPH texas mile ...

but Flyboy is definitely haulin ass in this vid, dont kid yourself.... the wind forces are wicked and the salt flats are'nT exactly flat.... and you need more horsepower to break 200 mph... looks like Flyboy had a Brocks, maybe strapped/lowered, mirrors off. and he doesn't look like he's on the lightweight side... KUDOS TO FLYBOY GREAT RUN...
