There’s been a rush of emails in my inbox lately announcing lots of new motorcycle speed records, it must have been a good year for the salt. This one just came in and it’s actually pretty impressive. The new Confederate X132 Hellcat Combat set a record of 172.211mph in the APF3000 category (unfaired, naturally aspirated, pushrod v-twin, over 2000cc). What that means is it’s the world’s fastest big block American V-twin motorcycle ever.
The X132 has a 132 cubic inch (2,163 cc) 56° Fuel Injected V-Twin, sporting about 150 foot pounds of torque and 132 horsepower.
Many of us have ridden a motorcycle well into triple digit territory, but we’re usually laying on the tank behind a fairing, this record was set out in the breeze which is not only a bit more challenging for the rider to keep things straight and narrow while fighting the wind blast, but the engine has to push a rather non-aerodynamic hulk up to that speed.
Makes a person think those big V-Twins aren’t the slugs the inline four crowd makes them out to be. Nice work Confederate. Congratulations.

Unreliable KTM suppliers USA

Posting this as a warning for other Husaberg riders and KTM riders seeking parts from the US
Sent an order to Cycle Hut a KTM dealer in Sturgis South Dakota for some KTM common parts with my 2005 Husaberg 650 in April this year. Paid for the parts in advance and still haven't received most of the parts.

I tried these guys because they advertise to be the No.1 KTM parts dealers in the USA and I thought it would be safe to go with a supplier of this size. Apparently this is not the case. Just to make it crystal clear this was for 2 black front fenders and a Husaberg front headlight and other bits and pieces so its not like it was a frame or a complete motor or anything difficult to ship. I have called the shop 3 times the latest being 10:07am Friday 15th of September but can only leave a message on the answering machine.
