World's Fastest Streetbike Goes 278.6 MPH At The Texas Mile

Out of 76 motorcycless and 173 cars, this dynamic duo was also easily the fastest vehicle at the Texas Mile, an annual event which is held at an industrial airport in Goliad, Texas. Competitors leave from a standing start, have a mile to reach terminal velocity and another half mile of tarmac to get their machines stopped.

"The entire weekend, all three days, I only was able to make five runs," admitted the 41-year-old from Tampa Bay, Florida. "I usually run four or five per day, so five passes in three days is not much time to get everything dialed in. The Texas Mile track is very smooth and wide, but there is not much room to shut down. More than once, I took a wild ride off the end of the track trying to get the bike stopped.

"The early-morning pass on Sunday that set the record started with my best launch ever. The bike got squirrely, skidded side to side and then she finally hooked up. It felt like I was shot out of a canon! The bike stayed perfectly vertical for the entire run. It was so smooth it felt slow, if that makes any sense. Shutdown was tough, but fun, the bike screeching, sliding and hopping off the track."

Brock's Performance President Brock Davidson, another member of the 200 mph club, is impressed with Warner's heart and achievements: "The thing that strikes me, is that I didn't know Bill before this year, but he came highly recommended. With methodical, consistent, record-breaking runs, he's proven his skill to the point where I sit back in awe and wait to see the next goal het sets outs to break."
