Millyard and a co-rider, Henry Cole, recently set two records at a UK Timing Association Event. The pair rode set a new highest speed record for a
with two riders, reaching 183.5 mph. The bike set another record at the same event, hitting 178.6 mph in the standing mile with two riders.V10 required considerable maintenance to prepare for the speed runs. It also took multiple practice runs at increasing speeds to get a grip on the motorcycle’s odd weight and proportions. Millyard said having another rider on the bike made it so top-heavy that it felt like it had a top box filled with cement.
The two new records are impressive, but they’re just more numbers on the V10’s already extensive resume.

It’s worth noting that Millyard’s homebrew bike is quicker than many of today’s most powerful motorcycles. Models like thePanigale V4 S claim 0-60 mph times in the low three-second range, a hair slower than the V10. Production bikes also come with limited top speeds in many cases, so Millyard’s creation can reach greater speeds than most models on sale today.
