That looks suspiciously like Richard Alban's dyno......and his workshop later in the video.
So i'm guessing that TTS will be doing a video about this performance kit.

I ride a '22 RS Speed Triple and with 150 ponies stock at the rear wheel and only 437 pounds wet it's very impressive. Getting 400 ponies on 411 pounds wet is insane.

...yes, but how long before it goes bang?

I’m thinking as soon as you’re brave enough to twist that throttle!

I'm thinking that it's good that the cylinders are pointing a bit forward rather than directly up through the rider's torso..... ....mind due, maybe not forward enough if that scenario actually happened

I don't think it'll ever get to put all that power down if it's shredding tyres to the canvas on a dry road.

They are using water/methanol in the system to prevent catastrophic detonation (figure about 300 octane for a sloooow fuel burn). The only place all that power can be used is on a long airport runway where the power to overcome wind resistance can get it to top speed. Twist the grip coming out of a corner too hard and the rear end steps out as the tire spins up (see video). The bike might set a new six up power wheelie record with a passenger on the front fairing, but that's about all it's good for.

Alien rider, 150k, track only ofcourse, gives me a big woody! I would love to ride it, i do not have the skills to do what that cat was doing on that thing, however i would give a left or a right to go around that course one time. Superchargers are so cool!
