Motorcycle News achieves 218.1mph on our 401bhp SuperBusa at Kendrew Barracks, UK
With revised gearing and a fresh ECU map, Motorcycle News's, Bruce Dunn, took our road-legal SuperBusa to a verified 218.1mph, on 16 March, at Kendrew Barracks, Rutland UK.
This incredible feat marks the final phase of development for our limited-edition, supercharged hyper-bike. Following a huge number of comments from people eager to know the true top speed; we're delighted to be able to reveal just what the SuperBusa is capable of.
"Development has been ongoing throughout the winter and we've been eagerly awaiting an opportunity for decent weather and a suitable venue to test the SuperBusa," says TTS MD, Richard Albans.
"Having already had one big test day cancelled last week due to poor weather, we were understandably nervous about joining Motorcycle News at Kendrew Barracks – one of the few runways available that allows us to test to over 200mph.
"But it wasn't only the weather; many other factors conspired against us in the days leading up to the top speed attempt, so I'm absolutely delighted to finally prove what this fully road-legal bike can do," says Albans.
SuperBusa #40 made a hefty 401.14bhp at 11,191rpm for the top speed attempt, although the production version isn't exactly lacking in power, producing 370bhp at 10,752rpm.
"But that's not the end of it. With further revisions to the gearing, Bruce and I are confident that we can get to 220+mph on the SuperBusa," smiles Albans.
Bruce adds: "This is something else. To be fair it's more usable [than other bikes]. We also had a Kawasaki Z H2 here this morning and that feels a bit more vicious and abrupt."
He sums up the SuperBusa by commenting: "It's supercharged, super-fast, and you can use it to ride to the shops! In this day and age, I celebrate this stuff."

I am currently in the UK and discovered this resource through a chat in a local forum about minimalist web designs that are easy to use on the fly. I gave it a go later that Saturday while relaxing on the sofa. I liked the fact that everything was so straightforward that I understood the logic of the site almost immediately. While I was multitasking between some light work and checking the news, winit casino provided a very stable and fast connection in my browser. I enjoyed a quick session, didn't lose track of my evening, and was genuinely pleased with how user-friendly the whole experience turned out to be.
I noticed https://mystbet.org.uk mentioned in a forum thread and decided to take a look. The site is easy to navigate, with a clear structure and fast-loading pages. Browsing between sections was comfortable, and nothing felt overwhelming. I stayed on the site longer than expected. It feels like a straightforward option for UK users.
I found myself browsing from Nottingham today and https://luckyboys.co.uk was a breath of fresh air. It avoids all the usual cliches and offers a much more streamlined experience. I think that taking a simpler path is the best way to win over users in the UK. It feels very honest, direct, and incredibly fast.
Hi everyone! I’m in the UK and usually scroll forums after dinner to switch my brain off. I found this site when a small banner appeared while I was reading comments under a football recap, which I normally ignore. Curiosity won because the layout looked calm and readable. In the middle of my evening routine, https://luckytwice.org.uk stayed open while I played a few rounds between making tea and answering messages. I liked that nothing felt rushed or noisy, and I logged off feeling relaxed and satisfied.
Hi folks! I discovered this one almost by accident. While clearing old bookmarks, I clicked something I didn’t remember saving. That led me into golden lion bet right in the middle of my break. Living in the UK, I’m picky about online platforms, but this didn’t push me away. I spent a short while exploring, enjoyed the flow, and logged off feeling relaxed rather than annoyed, which is usually my personal benchmark.
