    Think Russel wright and Bob Burns set a world sidecar record in New Zealand of 154 mph, later same day raised to 162 mph. On a streamlined machine. July 2nd 1955!. Also vincent powered. Wright also set new solo world record of 185 mph!

    You set a record? B.S.!! Dave Matson set several records back in the early 1980's over 200 mph on a single Vincent engine bike, not a streamliner just a fairing. Best one-way was 217 in 1986. Check the records.
