Whoa - 142 mph top speed
This guy is fast
I wonder what modifications he has on his bike.
Thanks for sharing

I haven't seen one of the articles in a couple of years but there were a couple of early German bikes which got bored out, hotter cams, etc. Seems to me they were pulling something like 130 hp on a dyno, which is a HECK of a lot more than stock.


Engines tuned that tight usually don't last too long, but who knows?

That was crazy awesome! My 2012 would run about 147 MPH on the high end, but my 2014 is quicker out of the hole but only had it to 138 MPH so far....

I thought I saw 228 km/h on one of the early straights in the video which is 148 mph

That got the heart thumping ???

Very good rider. They would reel the other bikes in on every set of turns then they would pull away.

Tell me if I am wrong... did the Tenere seem flat in 6th gear or was I expecting more? Haven't really tested the 2015 but the 2012 would pull very well in 6th gear.

Darn that rider could ride deep into a turn!

We have a road race course here in Cleveland Oklahoma (Hallett). Pretty awesome course, i took my Police Motorcycle pursuit training at that facility. Sure would like to get my Tenere up there and do a few laps with the right set of tires and no Farkles. I bet it would pull the corners very well especially with the ES sat on hard. ::26::
