BUB 7....two way average.....367.3 mph in the measured mile...367.5 in the kilo Still needs to be "certified" but whatever. Slightly off topic but it's fast and at Bonneville. See the play by play here....http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,6381.480.html Bub 7 website http://seven-streamliner.com/
400hp in a package the size of a 1 liter V-Twin.hunh? they don't even know that they have a V4... lmao...
What they are saying is that they have a V4 that is the same size as a 1 liter V-Twin. Look at the pix--that is a tight little package. Roo
Awesome news. I see these guys on the local news now and again, they're mostly out of Grass Valley, CA. The "motorcycle" is awesome, had the pleasure of seeing BUB 7 at a motorcycle show in the Bay Area a couple years ago. That was back when the record was 350.884 mph, looks like they've upped the ante quite a bit this time around. The V4 is incredible, for a bunch of guys that started in a garage out of Grass Valley to custom design a 3000 cc V4 out of thin air, make their own castings, and pull over 500 hp out of it is just incredible. Truly a beautiful machine, a real work of art. Good on them!
That's quite the machine and a great run. Being I'm a Triumph guy I gotta throw this one in.This is the fastest true motorcycle,not a streamliner but a bike the rider sits on and controls like a regular cycle.Powered by two turbocharged old school Triumph triple engines pushrod engines.various records,the fastest at 256 mph.
Actually, every motorcycle company around today made a V-twin at one time or another. Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati even Aprilia. Some made liter bikes, some didn't.
Not really, if you want to talk about top speed. J. Amo ran a 272mph pass at Bonneville this month on a blown 1000cc Kawasaki. Couldn't back it up, blew the motor at about 280. I didn't see the Triumph's 256mph record listed for Bonneville. What year was that done?
