 Jan 2016 Rome SV650S, CRF450R, and others |  "Pride of Italy" & "John Britten Tribute" to race for world records @ Bonneville
Two incredible streamliners are headed from Italy to Bonneville to try to set records in land speed racing!  The larger 2500cc (Formula 1 derived V-8 technology) is going for the partial streamlined motorcycle land speed record at over 400kph. The "John Britten" tribute is so named because the owner, Robert Crepaldi, was a personal friend of John Britten and his race team partner in racing the Britten V-1000 in the 90's!  And the Pride of Italy at 2000cc...  The back story is as fascinating as the bikes themselves:   Official website:recordmotorcycles Edited by Thumperpilot on Apr 13th 2016 at 10:40 PM |

When I first looked at it I didn't see the riders. At 250 mph, why wear the suit? If you have the balls to ride that I say go sans suit and just get body painted.  |
