The BUB Racing Streamliner Seven driven by Chris Carr set the new FIM world record and AMA national land speed record of 367.382 mph (591 km/h) as the fastest motorcycle in the world.

The record (still pending) was set on the Bonneville Salt Flats at the Land Speed Shootout promoted by Mike Cook. The Land Speed Shootout was created last year and brings together the fastest wheel-driven motorcycles and cars. The invitational event is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

The Seven is powered by a 3 liter, turbocharged, 16 valve V4 engine that produces a claimed 500 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque fitted into an 18 in. by 28 in. space.
