92 KX500 Land Speed Record Attempt Production Class

Post by Sandblaster »

So here it is.
The current record is 125.8 MPH.
Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials
AMA Land Speed Grand Championship
2021 BMST August 28th-September 2nd
Here is a link to the Bonneville website with the rules ect.

https://bonnevillespeedtrials.com/

Do you have a fast 500cc production bike?
Stock bore, stock stroke, stock carburetor, stock pipe, stock muffler, stock chassis, stock wheels.
Port it, compress it, gear it to the moon and show up.
Is your CR500R RM500 KTM 500 the fastest Production single cylinder bike on the planet?
Show up and run it.
Lets end this debate once and for all.

In order to run a 320mm front brake rotor with the older forks I had to make my own adapter.
So I whipped out my table saw, drill press, and jig saw... Added a little black paint to cover all the mistakes... :shock: :?
