Title: New Electric Motorcycle Record
Post by: john.emde on May 08, 2012, 10:13:13 PM

Larry McBride takes the Lawless OCC Rocket Bike
to a record run of 6.94 at 201 mph in the 1/4 mile.   Did we mention this bike is electric...
Some great pictures and videos.

And it looks like another record from the same team, shaving off 4/100's:

NO, not another record run.   
Machine Design just rounded the number to 6.90 instead of 6.94. 
Just one run at that speed (201.37) and time (6.94)  on April 29, 2012
