84.8 mph average for Rob Barber, I have to say I wasn't expecting anything like that. Good Stuff.

@programx: TTXGP bikes just left grandstand. crowd laughed. very slow off the line. Not exciting unless you're a geek, i guess.
Yes, yes we are.
Here is a breakdown of the specs of the Agni Machine:
The bike we are converting for the TTXGP is a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600 fitted with two Agni 95 Reinforced motors and Kokam lithium-polymer battery of 63 cells of 70AH each, total about 16 kilowatt-hours of energy. This will give 40 to 50 horsepower averaged over the length of the race, which should be good for about 200 km/h (120 mph) top speed. Riders for this race are required by the rules to be fully-qualified racing motorcyclists. Our rider is Robert "Bullet" Barber.
