There are a cuppla videos on Richard Assens Facebook page,,

He has run this bike on shakedown passes for a number of years on Gairdner, setting the DLRA 1350 A/BF (naked) Record @227.187mph,, he is yet to run it in anger with full bodywork installed,,

Richard is the current 1350 Faired FIM Record holder @261.387mph, set on Bonneville 2011,,

He is currently the forth fastest sit-on bike, behind Ralph Hudson, Al Lamb and Joe Amo,, im not sure, but Hiro Kioso may also be in that mix,,

The bike is on the water headed for Bolivia at the moment,,
First Australian to ride a motorcycle over 200mph at Bonneville,,,
