Records are meant to be broken. Who said that I wonder, but he or she was definitely right. This is some 520+ kmph that he touched on a motorcycle.

I believe that we may lose some people, if the madness continues. No matter how long you make the swingarm or what riding gears you use, it will only require a single front wheel shake to shake one's life. There should be a time when you should say "enough is enough". And personally speaking, its about time...

It is 499.112 kmph...

But yea it is insane... Also as long as they do it on a track under controlled conditions I don't think these speeds should be a problem...

More is never enough.

Dude, better get some respect for the bloke who acieved this feat (502kmph). turbocharged or NA, "under closed conditions" notwithstanding.. this is indeed quite a feat. it actually beats the Veyron on the top speed thingy. !!!

Where have I disrespected anyone...?

Actually, when you said, "As long as they do it on a track under controlled conditions I don't think these speeds should be a problem...",
you actually made it sound a lot easy than it actually is. I'm not blaming you, but that's what we perceive.

Even the earlier record was Warner's too.

No matter how long your swingarms are, or how flat the ground is, 500 kmph is a remarkable achievement on 2 wheels, that I respect.
But, now he should go home and love his wife... Enough with speed!

This were Warner's comments on the record:

"The bike was bouncing, hopping, skipping and sliding," Warner said. "Needless to say, I got it stopped safely. It was a little scary."

Now, its more easy to imagine 500 kmph. Ain't it?

**jd666** · 07-21-2011, 05:50 PM

wondering what spec tyres wouldve supported such speeds....

I can never imagine 500+ speeds as I do not think I have the control or capability or the balls to ever achieve them... I do respect the bravery of these people...

By insane I didn't mean to say that he is insane in achieving a record, but the SPEED is insane... (I don't know if I am again explaining it correct...)

Also when I said "shouldn't be a problem" it was not to say that the feat is easy... It was in response to your statement saying "There should be a time when you should say "enough is enough"."...

Hope its a bit clearer now...

Wonder what was he thinking while riding at that speed.... But hats off for his record..

**Satyamzma** · 07-21-2011, 06:08 PM

oh gush ...that's hell of a speed on a 2 wheels......Busa turned out to be God of Speed

**rharish90** · 07-21-2011, 07:56 PM

What would the mileage of this bike be?

When is it coming to India?

But yeah, this is one kind of a record. Even imagining 500 kmph is kinda scary. Hope he says 'enough is enough'.

**jigar2speed** · 07-21-2011, 08:59 PM

Busa's engine has never ever been questioned for it's strength and speed. Every bike lover knows that BUSAs engine if meet with turbo can smoke anything that comes in it's way. Yes that now includes the mighty 1000BHP Bugatti Vevron.
