This has nothing to do with KZs, but we are proud

APE is proud to announce that The Discovery HD TV Channel will have a one hour special on Rocky Robinson setting the record for the world's fastest motorcycle at the Bonneville salt flats.

The Ack Attack streamliner recorded a record speed of 376 mph, with an exit speed of 394 mph.

The Ack Attack is powered by a pair of turbocharged Hayabusa engines with Carrillo rods, CP pistons, and virtually every Hayabusa part that APE makes.

The special will be aired July 21 and again on the 22nd. Check your listings for the time.

Don't miss this.

Congratulations! Almost 400 mph on any land vehicle is terribly fast. On a motorcycle :ohmy: What kind of tires are they running to achieve that speed?

Congrats! That is really cool. Now here is my challenge: I will bet I can beat that machine with my stock 1977 KZ650. (But, I get to pick the twisty road) :evil:

Not to be a stick in the mud or an old fuddy-duddy, but when does a motorcycle stop being a motorcycle and becomes an earth bound rocket? :blink: :whistle:

Jay, it is a fine testament to the design and robustness of the APE parts. That's why APE is one of the few survivors from the initial era of performance Japanese parts. Your parts just work...
