Alan Millyard and Henry Cole have recently set not on but two world records on Millyards Viper V10 engined bike.The bike weighs 1200lbs or 1322lbs[depending on source you're looking at] of which 700lbs is the engine.First record is for fastest bike two up which they set at 183.5mph after a run of 1.25 miles the second record which they set along the way to the first one was for fastest standing mile which they set at 178.6mph.The bike apparently does 0-62 in 2.7secs and the standing mile in 9.5secs[presumably solo]and riding solo Millyard has had it up to 207mph.

Im surprised Cole didnt bottle it. His impressions of going fast, while going dead slow on a bike are hilarious.
Hanging off the side doing 50 around a 90mph bend. ::) ;D
Makes some  good programmes, but I cant stand the bloke. Programmes would be a lot better if he wasnt in them, but he owns the production company, so.....  ::)

I think it was a man with bigger balls who managed 207MPH.

Pretty sure AM said the best he managed was a 'paltry' 192MPH.

Riding a bike at those speeds is one thing, but you have to be very trusting or be particularly unhinged to ride pillion.  ::)
