Former Grand Prix racer Max Biaggi has set a new land speed record with the Voxen Watman electric motorcycle. Late last month, on an unused NASA Space Shuttle runway at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Voxen Watman set a total of 19 new world records for a variety of speeds in different classes. The most coveted of these records is the new record set in the “Partly streamlined electric motorcycle under 300kg” class with a top speed of 455.737 kmph. Voxon has designed three sets of bodywork for the new bike, which includes a streamlined full fairing, fairing with exposed tail and a naked version.

Under the fairing is a longer new swingarm, which has increased the wheelbase from 107 mm to 1,957 mm. The seat was extended by 65 mm, giving the Biaggi a more inclined riding position, which aided in aerodynamics. The latest bike also gets a power boost, with maximum power now 429 bhp, and peak torque of 1360 Nm.

Whatman set a two-way average speed of 283.182 mph (455.737 kph) for the record, but the onboard GPS actually clocked the bike with a top speed of 290 mph (466 kph). The two-way average is the number that is used for the record, and replaced the previous record of 253 mph (407 kph) set by the bike last year. Over a period of six days, Biaggi set several impressive speed records, including an improbable (non-streamlined class) maximum speed of 228 mph (367 kph).
