The 1,200 horsepower motorcycle is hoped to hit 400mph, breaking the current record of 376mph, which was set in 2010 by American Rocky Robinson. Channel 4 have already started a documentary filming the entire project. The motorcycle has been designed and built over the past decade by Alex Macfadzean.
The preparation includes a rolling road, a wind tunnel and CFD work carried out in order to help finalise aerodynamics. The testing of all of the systems in the UK (on a former RAF airfield) beginning in June!
