255mph on a naked busa!

and 272 with the bodywork
Warner was so motivated and charging forward so quickly that he failed to get the bike slowed down in time for a corner halfway through Maxton’s shut-down zone:

“My timing was off because I was traveling so much faster, it caught me a little off guard. I went in at the wrong angle and hit the third traffic cone at 167 mph.” This ripped off the front fender and damaged his hand-built bodywork, which took 300 man-hours to perfect, but didn’t wipe the smile off his face.
