Well as someone who's bucket list includes 1 timed 200mph pass I have researched it a bit. 200mph can and has been done with 160 RWHP but it takes more than the brute force of HP to get past 300. the bike and the others in its class had dry ice heaped on its intercooler seconds before launch and the body has been modified to the point where you might call it a streamliner. That takes nothing away from Bill Warner but as he said that machine does only one thing "Go Fast" .
I ride a Turbi Busa that Dynoed 257 at the rear wheel on the street, but I cant imagine launching wild Bills Bike

The double ton is on my bucket list too... I'm not usually a 'go fast' guy, but just once I'd like to experience it.
