Easyrider Streamliner`s Horsepower?
willieworld:
"with a record" the best i can find is 131.546 mph 50 cc =2.630 mph per cc
# 2 121.700 mph 50 cc =2.420 mph per cc
that would be like my 1000 cc going 2420 mph --something to think about

now who was the guy that said you couldnt go 200 mph with 40 hp take one step forward

There's a "class" for this sort of foolishness at Bub's. I remember the first Bub event, when Rick Yacoucci rode a pocket-rocket bike powered by a 2cc (or something) model airplane motor. I think he zoomed through the traps at 20 mph, or maybe it was slower.
Then there was the next time I paid attention, when Derek McLeish rode his 'liner (or was it the sidecar bike?) powered by a similarly tiny motor -- and "won" the prize by virtue of having been towed/poushed up to 100 mph or so by the push truck. But the little motor was running and contributing to forward movement as the bike went through the traps.

It wasn't me, but I'll take the step willie. I know about how much HP the Bubfab has now to run in the 130's and 40 would not push them to 200. Now if we designed a small liner for Kent's squirrel to pilot and put a turbo model airplane engine in it there might be a chance
c ya and you had better get back to work. I think Sheri is going to be checking up on you any minute now,

50cc Kreidler (THREE cubic inches). Single cylinder, supercharged by a Wankel-like blower. 137 mph two way average. 15 claimed horsepower. Frontal dimensions published 20" by 29".

If those numbers are accurate, it would need 47hp to go 200

Fastest ONE WAY run was 228 KPH -abt 142 MPH- that was in '77 with a 21 HP machine, still 50cc or 3 c.i.
Budfab guys are gettin' close!

and this one is 58 theoretical HP for 200

Willie, now it is your turn... who is the guy that said you could, so far I haven't seen anyone say or show it is possible, haven't heard from the 7070 guys yet, but I'll guess they are easily above 40 HP
