This rider doesn't have a throttle. Once this bike starts — it cannot be slowed down. The only thing that can stop it is the fuel running out. Because this man doesn't ride a motorcycle. He sits on a hydrogen peroxide rocket that converts chemical pressure into pure thrust at 1,200 degrees through rear nozzles. At speed, stopping isn't part of the design. The fuel tank is the only limit.So before every single run — he makes one calculation. How much fuel to load. Too much and the bike outlasts the track. So when he strapped in for his final retirement run at Santa Pod in front of packed grandstands — He had already made that decision. When the crowd went silent. The reaction started. The fuel ran out exactly where he calculated it would. And the record book had to be rewritten. CREDIT: @cycledrag on YT

He says all this while there is literally a massive front disk brake on the front wheel.
He also has to account for the kinetic energy of his brass balls
He isn’t a rider. He’s a guinea pig for destructive testing.
259mpr!!!! That's what timer said 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad it takes right on green light
No reason a hydrogen peroxide rocket can't have a throttle. This seems like nonsense.
WOW 263.6 at 259 MPH.😮
Literally a brake disc on the back wheel 😂
I live very close to there, and those engines/rockets are DEAFENING! But amazing
I hate these videos where 99% of it is talking and one percent is actual content
I was there when this happened
Who else got 2.6s 😭
Has brakes tho
Stopping is absolutely part of the design.
5.37 @ 259mph if anyone is wondering
He crazy. Love it
Yo what it literally has breaks on the handle bar
bang
No throttle? So it doesn't go or stop? Plus what's the disk brake on the front for then?
THERE'S A BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE BIKE IN SO TIRED OF MISINFORMATION
