Land Speed at Lake Gairdner

Looks like Brett set another record if I'm reading this correctly - 240.192 mph. Utterly amazing :shock:

Incredible achievement....

I did read somewhere that a mere 80 bhp is required to reach 200 mph, if the drag coefficient can be reduced to that of an Audi 100 Avant estate car, which was advertised here in the UK as 0.3 back in the 80's. Not sure who made the calculation, but drag has always been the issue with bikes.
