Guy Martin, a motorcycle racer who has been test the bike at high speed. At first, Martin is only capable of driving it at 177 kph (112 mph) in Pendine Sands, South Wales. But in the second trial he broke the record with a drive up to 112.94 mph (181 kph). Of course this speed record was broke the previous speed record that has been noted by Dutch cyclists, Sebastian Bowier, who drove at a speed of 133.78 kph (83,13 mph).

"Because of all the components used are homemade, this bike is almost priceless. Due every bike company would not make it.

With the Rouker statement, it seems the bike with two chains will not be mass produced due to the cost of production. *** [EKA | FROM PREVIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
