50cc Streamliner Speed Attempt


Here's a friend of mine attempting to break the existing speed record for 50cc motorcycle streamliners at both Bonneville and El Mirage. This year has been the year to work the bugs out. Next year, just wait! Built from scratch and powered by an Aprilia 50cc, normally aspirated motor, the BuddFab Streamliner has reached 95 mph recently at El Mirage.
John Buddenbaum and Eric Noyes are building this 50cc motorcycle streamliner to break the oldest record at Bonneville. 121.7 mph, set in 1956 by NSU with a wankel supercharged 50CC 2 stroke and fuel it made 13 HP. The attempt motor is a 2002 Aprilia RS50. Stock these motors make about 6 HP. Fully modified with Nitrous Oxide it should make around 20 HP.
Check back here and at their site to see how things progress.
