This Madman Just Broke The Los Angeles To New York Cross Country Motorcycle Record
Californian Carl Reese recently shattered the solo Cannonball motorcycle record from Los Angeles to New York City in a scarcely believable 38 hours 49 minutes (the previous record being 42 hours). That's 2829-miles of non-stop seat time. Amazing

Whats the record for a car?
I am not completely sure about exact numbers, but Mr. Alex Roy did something similiar with his BMW M5 and even made a documentary about it, http://www.32hours7minutes.com I would really recomend to watch it, pretty cool stuff, I also remember that some other dude did it even faster with his Merc AMG it was about 29 hours? I don ´t know.
Ed Bolian currently hold the car record at 28 hours and 50 mins . Edbolian.com
And they all went legal, not even once crossing the legal speed 😁
6 cylinder motorcycle???
1.6L inline-six, transversely mounted, 160 hp
Dam sun
The average speed is 73mph
YA that doesn’t seem that fast until you have to take a tire change and gas stops into account.
SO yes An average speed camera wouldn’t even give him a ticket.
EPIC
I wonder if the K1600’s seat is comfortable enough for 38 hours of non stop squatting… My butt wouldn’t last an hour on my vibrator bike seat at highway speed.
It’s time for someone to join the iron butt club then
Damn I need to beat that record (at “legal” speed on the crew)
hold my beer… let me get my vespa…
There probably is a scooter version of the record. Go for it.
That’s amazing.. because usually when i drive in NYC it takes me about 5 hours to go 8 miles..
