Castrol Rocket - The World's Fastest Motorcycle At Record Speed Of 606 Kmph
![slide](https://data.crazyengineers.com/old-attachments/6/6382-slide.jpg)
The specs of this motorcycle are very impressive. The bike is equipped with two Triumph Rocket III engines that consume methanol to produce 1000 HP at 9000 RPM and a total torque of 678 Nm. The engine's covered with a Carbon Kevlar Monocoque body that elongates to about 25ft, making it tad difficult to turn and park. But that's not the real problem here. Take a look at the specs sheet below -

Note that the brakes have been accompanied with parachutes - which come handy when you've to slow down the motorcycle speeding at about 600 kmph. Take a look at the following video that shows the bike -
While the Castrol Rocket is trying to aim for about 400 mph, an engineering team in London that goes by the name 'Bloodhound' is already readying their 1000 mph vehicle [1600 kmph!] to break the record in the next few months. We'll of course bring you the updates from the ground.
