Hi, wondering if anyone knows the highest speed a motorcycle has achieved in any Production-Production class.   :cheers:
Ralph

Vance and Forstall, Suzuki Hayabusa, 1350, 211.526mph, SCTA, 08/09,,, 8-),, that is the fastest listing i can find in the class records from DLRA, AMA and SCTA,,

i am not aware of a P-P class in the official FIM "World Records",,

FIM does not have a strictly production class.  The record setting production bikes show us the things we do not need to change to go fast.  In that way, they are most amazing.

Hi again.  A more specific question?  What is the fastest speed to date on salt in the PP 1650 class?  

I know there is no unified class decree across the different organisations , but I'm interested to know?  I'm asking this because I've been asked to answer the question.  Regards, and a prosperous and safe racing new-year to all.

1650 PP, the fastest speed to date if i recall, (correct me if im wrong,) was run by a gen2 Busa somewhere in the 211-214 range, :? :?,, there have been a few BMW 1000's run speeds pretty close to that also, :roll:,,

however, you have the fastest recorded record (1650 PP) at 208 something,  :cheers:

Greg, without your willingness to share info, experience, and knowledge, we wouldn't have run so well.  I’m moved by your decency and humility, you are a true Champion.

According to the 200 MPH Club mailing I got last week, Fred Vance set the record at 209.526 back in '09 on his 'Busa.  Jack Broomall's 205+ was on a 1650 ZX14. I see that the '13 records aren't in the list, and - stranger than that -- there's no "PP" record shown in 1000cc.  I sure thought it'd been pushed up past 200 last August.

I thought that was a big inch Busa....  :? I know the book shows Kawi, maybe Larry will chime in here and straighten me out

I thought you couldn't have a Busa in 1650 PP because the OEM engine's not big enough? 

Jack Broomall was indeed riding a ZX14.
