39. Candy Vendor in Old Town Hanoi 

Category – Engineering.

At this point in the story, Trouble and Chiaro are riding on exotic motorscooters, quick enough that many websites refer to them as motorcycles rather than scooters. Would you like to see photos of the motorbikes?

Ferrari and Lightning tweaked their scooters to make them very fast. Yet their speeds pale in comparison to the world record top speed for a motorcycle.

Question

  • How fast did the driver go in setting the world record?
  • Where was it done? 
  • How big was the engine used to create the needed 400+ horsepower?  

WARNING: This looks exciting on a closed course, done by a top professional driver. It’s a really bad idea for you to try anything like this on public streets.

Assignment – Discover the answer by visiting a website devoted to the vehicle and its team.

For Fun: Watch the website's video "BUB Seven Streamliner 367mph Record Run."
