In September 2006, Mark Souter of Longmont,
will race this motorcycle at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,
to try and set a new world record in the A-PG, 1350 cc motorcycles class.
The current world record in this class is 163.854 mph and Mark
is aiming to go 165-170 mph on the 5 mile long "short course" at Bonneville.
The motorcycle, which is used only for racing, is stripped down to the bare minimum,
with a 38 pound frame and nonessentials like the kickstand removed.
This engine will generate 135 - 140 horsepower at the rear wheel.
It is an A-PG class motorcycle which means it uses a special racing frame
and a Harley-style gasoline-fueled pushrod engine.
