    Is there a web site where I can find stuff like
    World record things - longest wheelie, fastest Production bike
    I'm also interested in what the most economical production bike is too
    (a scooter?) and the camel with the biggest hump. I have read that the
    ST1100 has the longest range, seems all wrong to me.

    17.3 inches
    847 miles round the Coventry ring-road on a 2001 Fireblade ("not much good,
    but wheelies like a ****"). This included 6 fuel stops and one comfort
    break for the rider.
    ZX-10R (rated "fucking quick" by Norris McWhirter)
    Honda VF750 - Honda accidentally fitted them with one of them 200mpg/run on
    tap water engines that big companies are always stealing off crackpot
    inventors and then started the rumour that they were shit so that nobody
    would ever buy one.

    There's a 1984 VF in North London that's still on its original tank of
    petrol.
    TL-1000S.

    Barry Grange, who had a history of mental health and depression related
    illnesses, set off from his home in Hastings on 4th August 1999 on his TL
    and has not been seen since.

    Bank records show that his debit and credit cards have not been used in the
    time he has been gone, so if he has averaged (conservatively) 6 hours riding
    a day at an average of 30mph then his TL has done over 545,000 miles on 1
    tankful, or more than 109,000mpg.

    Barry's ex-wife (who is now married to his brother) says that she believes
    he is trying to do more than 1 million miles on a tankful.

    This one I know - the MV 312 (unless it's been overtaken in the last
    couple of months).
