First Street class scooter to reach 101mph!  E-mail
On 24th July 2011 the Shiny Red tuned gilera Runner SRT183 became the first scooter ever in the Street Legal class to break the 100mph barrier.
We made the long trip up to East Kirkby overnight for round 6 of the straightliners sprinting series, and woke to a sunny day with very strong gusts of wind.
Our first run brought in a time of 13.52 which turned out to be our best qualifying run, and only 0.07 seconds off our class track record for East Kirkby.
However, the moment of the day came on our 16th run when we heard the commentator read out the magical and elusive figure.....Jordan O'Doherty runs 101mph!
The first scooter in the street legal class to ever break the 100mph barrier and cheers all round from the team.
Bearing in mind, this scooter has been tuned as a reliable road bike, to be tried and tested by our customers and easily replicable. The engine has not been rebuilt for the last year, and considering it is mostly ridden at full throttle this says it all.
A very memorable day for all involved.
