That's the bike from Morgan's Disney Land to Reno run.  Morgan thought he would make it first but didn't turn out that way.


The biggest factor on that is that Alan, the streamlined owner, still isn't confident in electric bikes and navigating to charge stations.

Indeed, once again I mention the ZZR1100, which back in the 90s managed 180mph from just 138bhp at the rear wheel, and an easy 60mpg (UK) if you actually stuck to speed limits. It wasn't an outlandish shape (in fact still one of the best looking bikes of the 90s methinks).

I can get that now:
- BMW K1300S
- not an outlandish shape
- 180MPH? (nah, not me, but supposedly it can)
- 175BHP (so maybe 150BHP at back wheel)
- sticking to the speed limits due to current UK fuel issues (still plenty of overtakes, just nice and smooth)
- I'm 6'4" so pretty high drag

However, a dustbin fairing would still make a big difference.
