A drag racer Rickey Gadson speeded his 375 hp modified sport bike up to almost 229.1mph.

Kawasaki Ninja H2R with a 300hp four-cylinder compressor engine needs only 26 seconds to reach the speed of 248.5 mph. The H2 version, that is allowed to be ridden on public roads and is powered by a 200hp engine, isn’t so fast, but it can outrun a meteorite being modified.

The drag racer and the owner of the RG62 brand of performance products Rickey Gadson set new speed record in one mile (1609 m) on such a custom bike. In early 2016 the most award-winning drag racer of the New World’s history had received a request of the Ninja H2 owner to modify his bike. It was needed not just to change the muffler and fix it, but to build the maddest H2 in the country. Gadson’s succeeded in it – after months of R&D and almost 100 dyno pulls the motorcycle reached 323 hp at the rear wheel and 375 hp at the crank shaft (a standard Kawa has only 187 hp). It set the record of 8,05 seconds in the quarter-mile, produced a 184 mph speed at the finish line.

The last and the most significant achievement of the bike, its creator and pilot was the mad race in a mile at the Texas Mile event, where the monster reached an unbelievable 229 mph speed. However, only the half-mile was needed to reach 205 mph. It’s the record for H2! Here are some of the victory elements – more productive mechanical supercharger, an improved cylinder head and other distributors. But at the recent Texas Mile Suzuki Hayabusa became the fastest motorcycle in the World, reached the speed of 278.6 mph.
