No wonder it worked, it is 1/2 Busa  :-D  Seriously, congrats for an amazing design, construction, and ultra thrash to complete in such a short time. You and the bike now have all winter to recharge. Well done.  :cheers:

Outstanding!  I was logging on just to see the progress on this amazing project, and to see it culminate in a record is icing on the cake.  Well done, all!   :cheers:

thank you, thank you, thank you guys.!... boy that was a tough build... from 0 to world record in 8 days...thats cuz we took a sunday off  :-o hopefully my wife will like me again by the end of this week  :-o . but hold on were not done yet, this bike is just a development tool for the liner... were gonna start the battery management stuff this week. First we have to figure out how to get a Tachometer lead so we can get get some HP readings and simulate run duration on the dyno... luckily we can take it to a drag strip to continue to get the power to the ground... Then we need to get some data recording stuff.  I think we will start the liner build in Feb hopefully that will give us a little time before Speedweek... We will probably run this bike in May and June then thats it

Kent, start in Feb?  The build would be so much better if you didn't start until July, easier to stay focused....  great job on the EScooter, congrats on the record...   :cheers:

What an awesome display of ingenuity and talent. :cheers:

I hoping to see the bad boy run but could only attend Sat.

Way to go Kent, Randy and crew. 

Great work by Scott on the build diary.

I am looking forward to "not hearing" it run 200+ next year.

very happy to get to met Sam and didn't get to "meet"    Kent but did help him get his leathers over his shoulders---was so GREAT to get to watch the build this past week online and the to get to watch the first pass from the line---NO noise just started making dust!!!!!!!!! :cheers:
