World's fastest 125cc!


146.77mph or 236km/h. That's a lot of speed but when you factor in the engine in question, you do feel amazed. A 125cc engine belting out 44bhp helped Scott Kolb pilot a Honda RS125 powered Streamliner to such speeds and in the process set a world record at the Bonneville Salt Flats recently.

Horsepower update: Our bike at sea level makes 41-42HP. At Bonneville, Utah, the altitude of 4500 feet robs us of precious oxygen yielding only 36-37 HP which makes our speed quite a bit more respectable. Good aerodynamics go a long way.
I believe 165MPH is attainable next year with our new motor.
