    Bicycle faster than an XS1100?

    Fastest Bicycle Speed
    The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle is 268.831 km/h (167.043 mph), by Fred Rompelberg (The Netherlands) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, on October 3, 1995. His record attempt was greatly assisted by the slipstream from his lead vehicle. Fred has been cycling professionally for nearly 30 years and during that time has held 11 world records.

    If you've ever seen the photos of Freds run(s) he was drafting behind a 10'x10' windscreen attached to a racecar.

      I'll bet that if I could keep the wheels on MIYAMI, I could probably get er up to bout 450 mph. ( drafting behind an airplane with a large windshield to chase.)
