Default totally insane...............

whilst reading a bike mag called PERFORMANCE BIKES
i came across an article written buy guy martin,

he has a 380bhp martek gsx-r110m with the aim of tuning it too 500bhp, lol


http://www.guymartinracing.co.uk/?tag=martek-turbo




what would the top speed roughly be of a 500bhp bike?

surely it would pull some serious G's and knock the rider out?

Thats 256mph running 24psi in a mile with circa 480bhp. It has 636bhp but as yet they cant keep the front down at that Power.

Surely it would need a tow bar wouldn't it? Well you must have to have a trailer on the back to hold your massive bollocks that are required to ride such a thing.

Mental, totally mental
